The Deadwood Encore by Kathleen Murray
A brilliantly inventive and witty novel about legacy and birthright from Kathleen Murray, Irelands brightest new literary voice.‘Brilliant, full of vitality and voice … Kathleen Murray is a masterful writer of dialogue’ – KEVIN BARRY
‘A flat-out page-turner. There's so much here to delight in – fizzing dialogue, offbeat characters, flights of fancy and mad escapades […] Kathleen has the guts to take on what's miraculous and eerie, and spins Frank's story shrewdly, irreverently, and fondly.’ – LISA McINERNEY
‘So much to admire in The Deadwood Encore: a free-wheeling, demotic freshness of manner, a sustained emotional intensity – and a small Irish town brought to life with vividness and bone-dry wit. What a remarkable debut from Kathleen Murray.’ – NEIL HEGARTY
The Deadwood Encore is a warm, thoughtful, funny novel from a wise, inventive and gifted new writer.’ – LIA MILLS
