ronanmcd 's review for:
From a Low and Quiet Sea
by Donal Ryan
There are many layers here. It's about being a man in worlds of men, it's about living through challenges and how we face or escape them. But my own reading is this is a book about truth and what that means.
Farouk has his truth doubted in the judgement by others. Lampy cannot bring himself to face the truth. John created other truths as suited his purposes. Each of these is brought! to settle accounts with his truth.
That reading could well be my own obsessive showing through: media, politics and history and their manufacture. But the book can be read in so many ways.
