Ravelling: 'A glorious novel' Donal Ryan by Estelle Birdy
SET IN DUBLINS LIBERTIES, Estelle Birdys explosively original debutRavellingchannels the energies and agonies of young men let loose in the city, where they balance their hopes with the harsh realities of their present. Hurtling between friendships, feuds, drug-deals, family and brushes with the law, this is modern Dublin as never before portrayed.‘An immersive, imaginative debut’ Henrietta McKervey, Irish Times
‘Estelle Birdy’s debut novel hits the ground running with a masterstroke opening – a funeral…Birdy is fearless in her exploration of masculinity. Through her characters, she challenges stereotypes and delves deep into the struggles and triumphs of young men grappling to understand themselves in a world that mostly seems stacked against them. … No wonder Sleeper Films have optioned this bold debut for a TV series.’ Lourraine Courtney, Sunday Independent
‘It’s a pacey, bleakly funny, warm and compassionate novel and is filled with hilarious, inventive, sweary dialogue reminiscent of Roddy Doyle.’ Niall McArdle, Books Ireland
