Born into violence, these young wolves have rage in their hearts. The small Irish town where they live promises them a doomed destiny. But they resist, learn to love, to flee, to dream of light. In seven perfectly crafted short stories, Colin Barrett establishes himself as a worthy successor to Raymond Carver or Ken Loach. In a world without horizons, the possibility of inventing them still exists, and the writer is there to capture the unexpected turns, the silences that give each man and woman who crosses this book an extraordinary strength.
