Irish Author
Winner Booker Prize 2023
Shortlisted An Post Irish Book Awards / Novel of the Year 2023
A fearless portrait of a society on the brink as a mother faces a terrible choice, from Booker-winning author Paul Lynch.
Winner of the Booker Prize 2023
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.
'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
'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
'I haven't read a book that has shaken me so intensely in many years ... The comparisons are inevitable – Saramago, Orwell, McCarthy – but this novel will stand entirely on its own.'
Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon
