À propos de ce titre
 From the author of Shadowplay, shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize, The Costa Novel Prize and Novel of the Year winner at the An Post Irish Book Awards.

Inishowen is a story of love found late, of hidden connections and a journey that changes three lives forever. There's Inspector Martin Aitken whose life is a mess. Divorced, his career's in chaos. There are terrible things growing inside his house and the last thing he needs is a collapsed woman in the street on Christmas Eve. There's Ellen Donelly, a woman on a mission, coming to Ireland to find her mother, and escape her husband. Milton Amery is her husband, an unfaithful New York plastic surgeon. All three of their roads lead to Inishowen - a mysterious place that holds secrets that can unlock the heart.

‘A vast page-turner, full of compassion, laughter and zest for the human condition, as well as a rattling good story.’ — Irish Times

‘Ireland’s greatest storyteller.’ — The Sunday Independent

‘One of the best writers working today.’ – Alice Walker

“A powerful, moving adventure of raw fate and betrayed love.” INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

What an unusual book to write!
Three lines of action, each of them very interesting in itself.
Sometimes scenes are simply too long when the author seems to have got carried away in dialogues that would have been just as good if shortened by 70 per cent.
But other than that the stories are something you really want to know more about, even if they drag out and some of the side stories are completely irrelevant.
The first narrator is so Dublin, you cannot but be in the city with your heart and your soul. Very good choice for the copper scenes. The rest of the story is being read, not felt, unfortunately.
The female narrator, on the other hand, kills all the vibes. Plump American reading instead of hearty Irish storytelling, she doesn't even get the names right, i-NISH-a-wan is not Inishowen, Dell-Kee is not a southern part of Dublin and county Dunnyg'l is certainly not anywhere in Ireland. Sorry, Ay-eer-leeaand, Dunlery sounds like forks and knives rather than the lovely area it is.
A total North Dublin copper gets a half hearted Belfast dialect, unless he starts sentences with a broad Ooy for I and flicks back to New York-Belfast Gibberish again.
The change of narrators makes no sense to begin with, and I was only short of not finishing the book because the female narrator is so incredibly terrible.




Fabulous plot, but that's it
