Über diesen Titel
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the multi-award-winning author of the number one best seller, Strange Flowers, a searing, jubilant story about four generations of women and fierce love.
The Aylward women of Nenagh, Tipperary, are mad about each other, but you wouldn't always think it. You'd have to know them to know—in spite of what the neighbours might say about raised voices and dramatic scenes—that their house is a place of peace, filled with love, a refuge from the sadness and cruelty of the world.
Their story begins at an end and ends at a beginning. It involves wives and widows, gunrunners and gougers, sinners and saints. It's a story of terrible betrayals and fierce loyalties, of isolation and togetherness, of transgression, forgiveness, desire and love. About all the things family can be and all the things it sometimes isn't. From the prize-winning author of Strange Flowers and The Spinning Heart, The Queen of Dirt Island is an uplifting celebration of fierce, loyal love and the powerful stories that bind generations together.

Kritikerstimmen
"Donal Ryan is giving us characters that we haven't seen in Irish literature before." (Roddy Doyle)
"Ryan's work has set a benchmark to which other writers will aspire." (John Boyne)
"I think you have to truly love people to write like this." (Rachel Joyce)
Structured in very short chapters, it seems like we are taking part in the intimate conversations and endless cups of tea. Nothing much appears to happen; however, the story actually unfolds quite fast and there are unexpected plot twists. There is also a lot of humour (and swearing). It was a quick read and I initially wasn’t sure how to feel about it. Three days later I’m still thinking about the characters, so I’d recommend it if you’d like something short and a little different.
Gritty & funny Irish women
