Ein Wanderer zwischen den Sprachen: Der Icherzähler dieses Romans wuchs mit einer deutschen Mutter und einem irischen Vater auf, der das Englische verteufelte und von den Kindern verlangte, Gälisch zu sprechen. Inzwischen ist der Mann erwachsen, er kehrt mit seiner Frau und zwei kleinen Töchtern nach langer Zeit aus Berlin zurück und möchte in Dublin wieder heimisch werden. Doch Erinnerungen und Zweifel überwältigen ihn, und es fällt ihm schwer, Fuß zu fassen - anders als die Palmen in ihrer Straße, die hier gut gedeihen. Sie werden dem Icherzähler zum Sinnbild für seine eigene Wurzellosigkeit.
"Auf seine stille Art ein umwerfendes Buch." Sunday Times
Praise for Dublin Palms:
'A gorgeous, richly atmospheric, engrossing novel about family, voice, and what it means to find yourself lost in everywhere that should be home. Deserves your full attention' Rick O'Shea
Praise for The Speckled People:
'This is the most gripping book I've read in ages. And it's beautifully written: what could have been safe memories are made new-lived and real in this fascinating, disturbing and often very funny memoir' Roddy Doyle
'The Speckled People is poetic in its language and construction, lyrical in so many of its descriptions. There is a story full of several different kinds of passion with a real tragedy at its heart. The pain is all there, but so is its antidote'
Margaret Forster
'Donner und Blitzen! What the Jaysus! A memoir of warmth and wisdom. And at last a good - if flawed - Irish father. A beautiful German mother. And not too much rain. It is tender and profound and, best of all, tells the truth. I loved it.'
Patrick McCabe
'A fine and timely book from an exquisitely gifted writer, this is beautiful, subtle, unflashy, perfectly realised and quite extraordinarily powerful.'
Joseph O'Connor
