Book excerpt: Single-mother Fran returns to her sleepy hometown to care for her dying father when a devastating bush fire breaks out. A heartbreaking, nail-biting disaster-noir thriller from the bestselling author of The Cry and Worst Case Scenario. 'Urgent, angry, absolutely terrifying, yet suffused with the humanity and humour you expect from a Helen Fitzgerald novel' Erin Kelly, author of Watch Her Fall 'Tantalisingly powerful' The Times ' Ash Mountain is the author at her masterly best ... I loved it!' Louise Candlish, author of The Heights ________________ Fran hates her hometown, and she thought she'd escaped. But her father is ill, and needs care. Her relationship is over, and she hates her dead-end job in the city, anyway. She returns home to nurse her dying father, her distant teenage daughter in tow for the weekends. There, in the sleepy town of Ash Mountain, childhood memories prick at her fragile self-esteem, she falls in love for the first time, and her demanding dad tests her patience, all in the unbearable heat of an Australian summer. As past friendships and rivalries are renewed, and new ones forged, Fran's tumultuous home life is the least of her worries, when old crimes rear their heads and a devastating bushfire ravages the town and all of its inhabitants... Simultaneously a warm, darkly funny portrait of small-town life – and a woman and a land in crisis – and a shocking and truly distressing account of a catastrophic event that changes things forever, Ash Mountain is a heart-breaking slice of domestic noir, and a disturbing disaster thriller that you will never forget... ________________ 'A new novel from Helen Fitzgerald is always a major event, and Ash Mountain is magnificent' Mark Billingham, author of Rabbit Hole 'There is plenty of human depravity in the plot but none of that is as terrifyingly overmastering as the fire' Literary Review 'Domestic life is rarely served up quite so dark as this – but that only makes you hungry for more' The Sun 'Dark, atmospheric and terrifying' Ambrose Parry, author of A Corruption of Blood 'Compelling' Independent Praise for Helen FitzGerald ***Worst Case Scenario was Shortlisted for the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2020*** 'The plotting is intricate and beautifully handled, and the narrative pace is absolutely breakneck ... a wonderful, energetic, hard-hitting and deeply funny novel' The Big Issue 'The main character is one of the most extraordinary you'll meet between the pages of a book' Ian Rankin, author of A Song for the Dark times 'A dark, comic masterpiece which manages to be both excruciatingly tense and laugh out loud funny at the same time' Mark Edwards, author of The House Guest 'The classic thriller gets a hell of a twist' Heat 'FitzGerald writes like a more focused Irvine Welsh or a less misogynist Philip Roth' Daily Telegraph 'Domestic life is rarely served up quite so dark as this – but that only makes you hungry for more' The Sun

Book Synopsis Walk the Blue Fields by : Claire Keegan
Download or read book Walk the Blue Fields written by Claire Keegan and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Seven perfect short stories” from the award-winning author of Antarctica—“a writer who is instinctively cherished and praised” (The Guardian, UK). Claire Keegan’s brilliant debut collection, Antarctica, was named a Los Angeles Times Book of the Year and earned her resounding accolades on both sides of the Atlantic. She continues her outstanding work with this new collection of quietly wrenching stories of despair and desire in modern-day Ireland. In “The Long and Painful Death,” a writer awarded a stay to work in Heinrich Böll’s old cottage has her peace interrupted by an unwelcome intruder whose ulterior motives emerge as the night progresses. In the title story, a priest waits at the altar to perform a marriage—and battles his memories of a love affair that led him to question all to which he has dedicated his life. And in “Dark Horses,” a man seeks solace at the bottom of a bottle as he mourns both his empty life and his lost love. A masterful portrait of a country wrestling with its past and of individuals struggling toward their futures, Walk the Blue Fields is a breathtaking collection from “that rarest of writers—someone I will always want to read,” and a resounding articulation of all the yearnings of the human heart (Irish Times).
