The Spinning Heart

Set in the aftermath of Ireland’s financial collapse, Donal Ryan’s debut novel uses 21 different voices to explore the very human trauma of a community broken by bad economics. When the local firm – the bedrock of the town’s prosperity – goes bust, the boss flees the country while his employees are left feeling broken, angry, and betrayed. As violence flares, the characters face a battle between their public personas and inner desires as everybody struggles to tell their own kind of truth.
