Turas by Colin Neill
One man struggles to come to terms with a skeleton in his past; another wrestles with the reality of an unhappy marriage and a dead-end job; one asks out a new girlfriend - and in doing so bites off more than he bargained for. Alongside these events the men are all living out their everyday lives dealing with their own unique challenges and disappointments. As the men meet together to study the Bible, in particular the story of Jeremiah and the exile to Babylon, they find the timeless book speaking to them in their current situation in a way they did not realise before was possible. At a range of key milestones in the year, the protagonists explore the meanings of these markers in their year, interpreting them in their own way. Focused on Ireland's past, present and future, Turas will appeal toaeIrish residents and fans of Irish fiction. It will also reach those interested or involved in Christianity and Evangelicalism.
Rarely does someone summon prophetic imagination to tell a story of our futureColin Neill has done this in a way that does not forget or erase the past, but honours its memory by reaching forward to provoke our present. -- Andy Flannagan
