Old God's Time

"Sebastian Barry’s latest novel follows Tom Kettle, a 66-year-old Irishman who has retired from his career as a police detective and moved to a small lean-to adjoining a castle in the town of Dalkey. He’s still haunted by an old case involving a murdered priest, as well as his own demons, and he’s not quite prepared to have to confront them all again. This is a relentlessly bleak, stunning novel about how the effects of violence and abuse can reverberate for years and across generations."

""Old God's Time," by Sebastian Barry, is truly superb."
