'A devastatingly human story...savage, sordid and hauntingly believable' Guardian
On the eve of a great battle, a father commands the death of his daughter to save his army. Three years later, he returns home and his murderous action has set the entire family - mother, brother, sister - on a path of intimate violence. As his wife seeks her revenge, the remaining siblings must find a way to right the wrongs of the past even if it means committing themselves to a terrible, barbarous act.
'This is a novel that is a celebration of what novels can do' Observer
'A giant amongst storytellers' Daily Telegraph
'Tóibín's prose is precise and unadorned, the novel's moments of violence told with brutal simplicity. But its greatest achievement is as a page-turner' Economist
