Brennan writes with that Irish rural voltage, all at once funny, grim, lyrical, suspicious of redemption, and extremely aware that a place can love you and eat you with the same mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003eGood for readers of Kevin Barry, Max Porter, Jon McGregor, Lisa McInerney or Daisy Johnson.
