Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989 Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989
From the award-winning author of The Raptures, a literary alternative history about a community living on an archipelago, the flamboyant guru who brought them together and the secrets that will lead to their fall. From the award-winning author of The Raptures and The Fire Starters, a stunning, imaginative novel about a community living on a small group of islands. Sometimes a utopia is not all that it seems... In Few & Far Between, award-winning writer Jan Carson, imagines an alternative version of Northern Ireland's recent past. A prime minister with a mad plan to create a new county. An archipelago of haunted islands. A community seeking refuge from the Troubles. The perfect place to escape to - or so it appears. It's summer 2017 and the last few residents of the Lough Neagh Archipelago are facing imminent eviction. The flood planned to combat a devastating algae outbreak will submerge their homes, forcing them back to the Mainland for the first time in fifty years. How will they cope with modern life? Will the Ark give up its secrets before it sinks? Can they leave the past behind? _____ Praise for Jan Carson- 'Jan Carson is a born storyteller- her work is so imaginative, whimsical, mischievous and brave, but tender and curious too - you never know where she's going to take you next, so reading her is always an adventure. Exactly how it should be' Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies 'Jan Carson is a unique and very special writer, one of the greatest of the modern fabulists' Donal Ryan, author of Heart be at Peace ' The Fire Starters blew me away with its power, anger and wit' Joseph O'Connor, Books of the Year 'One of the most exciting and original Northern Irish writers of her generation.' Sunday Times 'Absolutely magnificent- dark, witty, charming' Marian Keyes, author of My Favourite Mistake 'Heart-rending, hilarious . . . It's a belter.' Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
