The River Capture

3/5 ( ratings)

SHORTLISTED FOR EASON NOVEL OF THE YEAR, IRISH BOOK AWARDS
A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE IRISH TIMES and IRISH INDEPENDENT

Luke O’Brien has left Dublin to live a quiet life on his family land on the bend of the River Sullane. Alone in his big house, he longs for a return to his family's heyday and turns to books for solace.

One morning a young woman arrives at his door and enters his life with profound consequences. Her presence presents him and his family with an almost impossible dilemma.

In a novel that pays glorious homage to Joyce, The River Capture tells of one man's descent into near madness, and the possibility of rescue. This is a novel about love, loyalty and the raging forces of nature. More than anything, it is a book about the life of the mind and the redemptive powers of art.
