A mother must make a horrible decision in this brave portrayal of a society on the verge, written by an internationally acclaimed novelist.
Scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to discover the GNSB on her step one gloomy, rainy evening in Dublin. Her husband is a trade unionist, and two members of Ireland's recently established secret police are coming to question him.
Ireland is disintegrating. Eilish is powerless to stop the country's administration from descending into tyranny as the world she knew vanishes. Eilish finds herself ensnared in the terrifying logic of a disintegrating civilization when her husband and later her eldest son disappear.
Will she stop at nothing to save her family? And what or whom is she prepared to let go of?
Prophet Song is a work of astounding creativity that is simultaneously horrifying, exhilarating, and propulsive. It presents a dreadful image of a nation at war and a deeply human portrait of a mother's struggle to keep her family together.
