Montpelier Parade by Karl Geary

Montpelier Parade by Karl Geary

it certainly got to the heart of me.' Sunjeev Sahota, author of The Year of the RunawaysThe house is on Montpelier Parade: just across town, but it might as well be a different world. Casting off his lonely life of dreams and quiet violence for this new, intoxicating encounter, he longs to know Vera, even to save her.

"A delicate, crystalline, hugely impressive novel by Karl GearyHe's yet another masterful younger writer coming through. But these writers aren't just promising, they are arriving fully fledged, like a bunch of Hemingways and Waughs. (A pride of Hemingways?) This is language on the side of life, suggesting life, giving life. Wonderful." -- Sebastian Barry
"Intensely powerful." * Sunday Mirror *
"Luminous…brilliantly paced, full of tension and tenderness." * Irish Times *
"Few novelists debut with a masterpiece, but Geary has done just that. Stunning." * Mail on Sunday *
"Montpelier Parade is haunting – a portrayal of loneliness that is eerily beautiful and desperately moving" -- Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
