Elysian (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781399951142)

Anraoi is home for the weekend. This is the last time you'll see him before you move to London. While everyone praises Anraoi for the life he built for himself in Dublin and for the father he has become to his son, only you can see what's happening beneath the surface. Only you can save him.

You meander the streets of Cork city, meditating on your childhood with Anraoi, coming of age in the recession, and the implosion of your decade-long relationship with Jess, who left you alone in a city where you've spent your entire life but no longer recognise.

"Set in late 2016, Elysian is a stunning portrait of modern Ireland, told through the lens of a lifelong friendship. The author's use of vivid and evocative prose transports the reader to the streets of Cork city, capturing the spirit of a nation grappling with the aftermath of the economic crisis, environmental destruction, and societal change. The characters are complex and nuanced, their struggles and triumphs achingly relatable. The book is an emotional rollercoaster, navigating themes of loss, love, identity, and hope with deft precision. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a powerful and insightful tale of contemporary Ireland."
