An unforgettable tale of love, abandonment, hunger and redemption, from a rising star of Irish fiction
''O''Callaghan is one of our finest writers . . . and this is his best work yet'' JOHN BANVILLE
*****
At just sixteen, Nancy leaves the small island of Cape Clear for the mainland, the only member of her family to survive the effects of the Great Famine. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she is irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair and a devastating chain of events that continues to unfold over three generations. Spanning more than a century, Life Sentences is the unforgettable journey of a family hungry for redemption, and determined against all odds to be free.
This sweeping story of one family''s fight for survival goes on making the heart lurch long after the final page, and confirms Billy O''Callaghan as one of the finest living Irish writers.
