The Salesman by Joseph O'connor
From the bestselling author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay, a thrilling novel about a father who takes the law into his own hands. 'Gripping and moving...a taut, expertly crafted plot' Guardian Dublin, June 1995: the hottest summer since records began.Like other young Irish writers, O'Connor brings into view a sharp and harsh image of contemporary IrelandBut this carries with it a feeling of emotional credibility not found in more traditional and stereotypical images of Irish life. It also brings a deeply ironic black humour of which the novel is full * Scotsman *
Very near perfection. You’ll be on the edge of your seat. * The Literary Review *
