Winner of the Booker Prize 2023
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 offers a devastating vision of a mother's fight to hold her family together in a country at war.
