From Lisa McInerney, hailed by The Irish Times as â€œarguably the most talented writer at work in Ireland today,â€ comes The Glorious Heresies, a searing debut novel about life on the fringes of Irelandâ€™s post-crash society.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â When grandmother Maureen Phelan is surprised in her home by a stranger, she clubs the intruder with a Holy Stone. The consequences of this unplanned murder connect four misfits struggling against their meager circumstances. Ryan is a fifteen-year-old drug dealer desperate not to turn out like his alcoholic father, Tony, whose feud with his next-door neighbor threatens to ruin his family. Georgie is a sex worker who half-heartedly joins a born-again movement to escape her profession and drug habit. And Jimmy Phelan, the most fearsome gangster in the city and Maureenâ€™s estranged son, finds that his motherâ€™s bizarre attempts at redemption threaten his entire organization.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Biting and darkly funny, The Glorious Heresies presents an unforgettable vision of a city plagued by poverty and exploitation, where salvation still awaits in the most unexpected places.
