On Tuesday 5th of March, 7PM we're meeting at our literary lounge in Books on the Rise for a discussion of 2023 Booker Prize winning 'Prophet Song.'

Description:

On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her step. Two officers from Ireland's newly formed secret police are here to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist.

Ireland is falling apart. The country is in the grip of a government turning towards tyranny and when her husband disappears, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a society that is quickly unravelling.

How far will she go to save her family? And what – or who – is she willing to leave behind?

Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of a country at war and a deeply human portrait of a mother's fight to hold her family together.

Tickets are £5 or included with a purchase of 'Prophet Song' through Books on the Rise (in store or online) E-tickets to the event are also offered for the same price.
