A bold and unsettling parable about guilt, atonement and redemption from the winner of the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award''It is seldom that one can say a book is perfect, but this is as close as I''ve seen in a very long time'' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT''A bold and unsettling parable about guilt, atonement and redemption'' IRISH TIMESMichael has travelled a long way from his boyhood under the endless skies of the Midwest. His retirement is peaceful, if solitary. But one day there is a visitation: a mysterious car on the seafront, and a package delivered. From its contents, Michael understands that he has been commissioned to undertake a final journey. As Michael makes his way deep into a distant desert – a strange and liminal landscape that lies between hell and redemption – he undertakes another journey, into long-suppressed memories: of Vietnam and the dying days of war, and to face a final accounting for what was done. Taut, atmospheric and moving, Spies in Canaan is a powerful elegy to the pain of love, the guilt of old age, and the grace of atonement.‘Another compact marvel … This is a meditative novel that, while investing heavily in a patient build-up of atmosphere, never forgets the need to put a foot on the gas’ DAILY MAIL‘David Park’s novels are always elegantly written’ INDEPENDENT''Unflinching, courageous, wise, alert to the thrill and sorrow of violence ... Adds to David Park''s status as a superb novelist'' FRANK MCGUINNESS
