SUMMARY:Maine Irish Reads "The Glorious Heresies" by Lisa McInerney
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2016 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Desmond Elliott Prize\nShortlisted for Best Newcomer at the Irish Book Awards\nLonglisted for the 2016 International Dylan Thomas Prize\nThe Irish Times March Book of the Month \nFrom Lisa McInerney\, hailed by The Irish Times as “arguably the most talented writer at work in Ireland today\,” comes The Glorious Heresies\, a searing debut novel about life on the fringes of Ireland’s post-crash society.\nWhen grandmother Maureen Phelan is surprised in her home by a stranger\, she clubs the intruder with a Holy Stone. The consequences of this unplanned murder connect four misfits struggling against their meager circumstances. Ryan is a fifteen-year-old drug dealer desperate not to turn out like his alcoholic father\, Tony\, whose feud with his next-door neighbor threatens to ruin his family. Georgie is a sex worker who half-heartedly joins a born-again movement to escape her profession and drug habit. And Jimmy Phelan\, the most fearsome gangster in the city and Maureen’s estranged son\, finds that his mother’s bizarre attempts at redemption threaten his entire organization.\nBiting and darkly funny\, The Glorious Heresies presents an unforgettable vision of a city plagued by poverty and exploitation\, where salvation still awaits in the most unexpected places. \n— New York Time’s Book Review’s “10 Best Crime Novels” of the year \nSee more Maine Irish Reads Events Here
