From a Low and Quiet Sea
by Donal Ryan
From a Low and Quiet Sea tells the stories of three very different men. Farouk, a refugee, is fleeing a fundamentalist regime with his family. John, not an evil man but by no means a good one, is giving his final confession and Lampy is a young man at the start of his adult life who has recently been dumped by his girlfriend. All three stories are equally absorbing, but they are so disparate that it is impossible to see what they have in common with each other and how they will come together - if indeed they do.
Then in the final section, Donal Ryan knits all the strands together with exceptional skill. His prose is beautiful and the storytelling is exquisite. Utterly fabulous.
