Summary

«No he leído un libro que me haya sacudido tan intensamente en muchos años […]. Las comparaciones son inevitables -Saramago, Orwell, McCarthy-, pero esta novela se sostiene por sí misma». -Colum McCann

Una noche oscura y lluviosa, Eilish Stack abre la puerta de su casa de Dublín y se encuentra a dos agentes de la policía secreta. Están allí para interrogar a su marido, un sindicalista que ha participado en recientes manifestaciones. La casa, la familia y el país que Eilish conocía, y en los que confiaba, están a punto de desmoronarse.
 
Cuando su marido desaparece, ella intenta convencerse de que ha sido un malentendido. Pero los días pasan, las desapariciones se multiplican y los disturbios se hacen cada vez más frecuentes. A medida que el miedo se instala entre los vecinos, Eilish se divide entre buscar a su marido, cuidar a su padre enfermo y controlar a sus tres hijos -que tienen ideas dispares sobre las formas de enfrentarse a este nuevo orden totalitario que ha llegado sin que nadie se de cuenta-. Eilish tendrá que decidir qué es más importante: recuperar a los que se han ido o salvar a los que aún quedan.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2023 • INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Winner of the 2024 Dayton Literary Peace Prize
Finalist for the 2024 Kirkus Prize

"A prophetic masterpiece." — Ron Charles, Washington Post

On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police on her step. They have arrived to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist.

Ireland is falling apart, caught in the grip of a government turning towards tyranny. As the life she knows and the ones she loves disappear before her eyes, Eilish must contend with the dystopian logic of her new, unraveling country. How far will she go to save her family? And what—or who—is she willing to leave behind?
 
The winner of the Booker Prize 2023 and a critically acclaimed national bestseller, Prophet Song presents a terrifying and shocking vision of a country sliding into authoritarianism and a deeply human portrait of a mother’s fight to hold her family together.
