Mark Casey has left home, the rural Irish community where his family has farmed the same land for generations, to study for a doctorate in Dublin, a vibrant, contemporary city full of possibility. To his father, Tom, who needs help baling the hay and ploughing the fields, Mark's pursuit isn't work at all, and indeed Mark finds himself whiling away his time with pubs and parties. His is a life without focus or responsibility, until he meets Joanne Lynch, a trainee solicitor whom he finds irresistible. Joanne too has a past to escape from and for a brief time she and Mark share the chaos and rapture of a new love affair, until the lightning strike of tragedy changes everything. Solace is a work to be admired for its spare, intense lyricism, its range, and its deeply compassionate portrayal of life as it is lived now. 'An elegant, consuming and richly inspired novel. A superb debut. This one will last' Colum McCann 'A novel of quiet power, filled with moments of carefully-told truth. . this book will appeal to readers both young and old' Colm Tóibín 'A story of clear-eyed compassion and quiet intelligence' Anne Enright

A searing novel about longing, intimacy and obsession from the award-winning author of Solace. When they meet in Dublin in the late nineties, Catherine and James become close as two friends can be. She is a sheltered college student, he an adventurous, charismatic young artist. In a city brimming with possibilities, he spurs her to take life on with gusto. But as Catherine opens herself to new experiences, James's life becomes a prison; as changed as the new Ireland may be, it is still not a place in which he feels able to truly be himself. Catherine, grateful to James and worried for him, desperately wants to help — but as time moves on, and as life begins to take the friends in different directions, she discovers that there is a perilously fine line between helping someone and hurting them further. When crisis hits, Catherine finds herself at the mercy of feelings she cannot control, leading her to jeopardize all she holds dear. By turns exhilarating and devastating, Tender is a dazzling exploration of human relationships, of the lies we tell ourselves and the lies we are taught to tell. It is the story of first love and lost innocence, of discovery and betrayal. A tense high-wire act with keen psychological insights, this daring novel confirms McKeon as a major voice in contemporary fiction, belonging alongside the masterful Edna O'Brien and Anne Enright

СЛУЧАЙНАЯ КНИГА

Я хочу в школу

Это фантастика, сказка и небывальщина. В этой книге вы не встретите инопланетян, Бабу Ягу или, на худой конец, говорящих животных. Зато познакомитесь с удивительной школой, в которую ученики по утрам бегут с одной мыслью: «Поскорее бы!». В ней исполняются самые смелые мечты – от полета на воздушном шаре до путешествия на Эльбрус. В ней нет привычных «предметов» и «параллелей», но есть куча прое...
