From a Low and Quiet Sea by Donal Ryan
4.0
A few rare books can say everything they need to in the space of a few pages, a few sentences; bring every fragile strand of what it means to be human in the eye of a constant storm. This is that kind of book.
Donal Ryan writes glassine prose that land emotional moments with the heft they ought to carry, without lingering on the sentiments. The structure of this book allows three seemingly separate lives to entwine with devastating coincidence, and although the Lampy section is a little weaker than the others, the weight of their fractured lives rests heavy on the reader's mind. From a Low... is a stunning work on tragedy and survival, and what it means to arc unto death.
