This Is Not a Novel by Jennifer Johnston

This Is Not a Novel by Jennifer Johnston

A stunning novel of longing, memory and abandonment, from one of Ireland's best-loved writers

The quiet, elegiac prose is well sustained * Guardian *
Characters damaged by their upbringing are Jennifer Johnston's metier, and echoes are a favourite motifIn what is, despite its title, a very fine novel, the tragedies of her family's past recur as Imogen's words resound off the coastal bay. A taut narrative, pared prose and lyrical imagery add up to a sad affirmation of Philip Larkin's adage * Saturday Telegraph *
Characteristically wry [and] intelligent * Eileen Battersby, Irish Times *

Jennifer Johnston, who died in 2025, was one of the foremost Irish writers of her generation. She was awarded the Whitbread Prize (THE OLD JEST), the Evening Standard Best First Novel Award (for THE CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS), the Yorkshire Post Award, Best Book of the Year (twice, for THE CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS and HOW MANY MILES TO BABYLON?). She was also been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, with SHADOWS ON OUR SKIN, and won the Irish Book Awards Lifetime Achievement prize, in company with Seamus Heaney, John Banville and John McMahon
