Description
Forty years from now, the once-great city of Bohane on Ireland’s west coast is collapsing under vice, scarcity, and tribal violence. In a world of minimal technology and fragile order, feuding gangs fight for control of the city’s streets, turning everyday life into a high-stakes contest of loyalty, survival, and power. Over the course of nearly a year, a vivid cast of characters moves through the maze of Bohane’s neighborhoods—each chapter revealing new alliances, betrayals, and hard-won moments of humanity. With Kevin Barry’s lyrical, darkly comic storytelling and sharp ear for voice, the novel explores themes of lawlessness, community, and the thin line between civilization and chaos.
