Fans of Donal Ryan will not be disappointed with this sequel to his award winning “The Spinning Heart”. While it is a sequel this book also works as a standalone.
The author sums up rural Ireland in a most poetic yet realistic manner. Similar to “The Spinning Heart” this novel is told in 21 voices all with their own story to tell yet with individual voices. I would suggest keeping a pen and paper handy to note the characters and connections. 
A joy to read.
