On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother of four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her step. Two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police are here to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist.

Ireland is falling apart. The country is in the grip of a government turning towards tyranny and when her husband disappears, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a society that is quickly unravelling.

How far will she go to save her family? And what – or who – is she willing to leave behind?

Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of a country at war and a deeply human portrait of a mother’s fight to hold her family together.

Kritikerstimmen

'The comparisons are inevitable – Saramago, Orwell, McCarthy – but this novel will stand entirely on its own.' (Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon)

'Monumental ... You remember why fiction matters. It's hard to recall a more powerful novel in recent years.' (Samantha Harvey, author of The Western Wind)
'Prophet Song is a literary manifesto for empathy for those in need and a brilliant, haunting novel that should be placed into the hands of policymakers everywhere.' (The Guardian)

This is not a beach read. At times the story is incredibly sad and harrowing but it is a story we all need to hear. It is beautifully written and I could not stop listening to it. Very compelling, very dark and perfectly written.

Masterpiece

Written in a wonderful and rich language but unbelievably sad and so close to reality.

Sad story

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
Everything just works so well together in this production. But be warned, the story is very well crafted and can leave you feeling very sad and despairing at the world and at how easily something like this could happen.

Disturbingly good

Es ist eine kaum zu ertragende Story, aber brillant geschrieben und ebenso vorgelesen. Man wird dieses Buch nicht so schnell vergessen.
