An Unravelling by Elske Rahill
A novel about four generations of women and the violent tensions and loving devotion, envy and self sacrifice that family life embodies.
There is a sense of great weight about this book; the characters move through a dense and cloudy atmosphere of fear and suspicion.. Rahill's lyrical prose is constant' * Irish Times *
Rahill is a stylist of the highest calibre: Molly's voice has a lilting brogue that sings from the page. Rahill's prose is alive with inventive phrasings and imagistic virtuosity, especially in its presentation of the intimate experience of the fleshly body – the maternal body, the cruelly waning body, the body tormented by a conflicted and unravelling mind. I've seldom read a novel so rich in poetry * Guardian *
Powerful... Heartbreaking and beautifully observed' * Irish Times *
Elske Rahill writes with a lyrical artistry and her words delicately weave the threads of a timeline filled with fierce love and crippling hurt * Irish Examiner *
