Winner of the 2023 Man Booker Prize, Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song is no “beach read.” As noted by the Booker Prize Committee: this important novel “follows one woman’s attempts to save her family in a dystopic Ireland sliding further and further into authoritarian rule. It is a shocking, at times tender novel that is not soon forgotten. Propulsive and unsparing, it flinches away from nothing. This is an utterly brave performance by an author at the peak of his powers.”
