Author:Patrick Kavanagh
He did not ask things to have a meaning or to tell a story. To be was the only story
A semi-autobiographical novel from the author of The Green Fool and The Great Hunger
A man's mother can be a terrible burden sometimes. For Tarry Flynn - poet, farmer and lover-from-afar of beautiful young virgins - the responsibility of family, farm, poetic inspiration and his own unyielding lust is a heavy one. The only solution is to rise above all - or escape over the nearest horizon.
Patrick Kavanagh's Tarry Flynn is an idyllic and beautifully evocative account of life as it was lived in Ireland in the 1930s.
A work of art
—— Irish TimesGemmell is several rungs above the good - right into the fabulous
—— Anne McCaffreyHas everything a fan of heroic fantasy could desire
—— Stephen DonaldsonI am truly amazed at David Gemmell's ability to focus his writer's eye. His images are crisp and complete, a history lesson woven within the detailed tapestry of the highest adventure. Gemmell's characters are no less complete, real men and women with qualities good and bad, placed in trying times and rising to heroism or falling victim to their own weaknesses
—— R. A. Salvatore, author of MortalisGemmell is very talented; his characters are vivid and very convincingly realistic
—— Christopher Stasheff, author of the Wizard of Rhyme novels'Delights, amuses, moves and angers you with the lightest of touches. It is, as might be said of Cadence herself, a small masterpiece'
—— Simon Callow , Vogue'Wonderful, funny, poignant and gutsy...you can feel the author's huge and hurt and loving heart beat on every page'
—— Anne Lamott , Mademoiselle'An intensely enjoyable novel about friendship and prejudice: the dialogue is word perfect, the psycology laser fine, and there are some terrific jokes... but no synopsis can do justice to this glorious book'
—— David Profumo , Weekend Telegraph
