A fearless portrait of a society on the brink as a mother faces a terrible choice . . .
Exhilarating, terrifying, and surprisingly intimate, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of societal collapse and a deeply human portrait of a mother's fight to hold her family together.
"Irish writer Paul Lynch conveys the creeping horror of a fascist catastrophe in a gorgeous and relentless stream of consciousness illuminating the terrible vulnerability of our loved ones, our daily lives, and social coherence. A Booker Prize finalist, Lynch's hypnotic and crushing novel Prophet Song tracks the malignant decimation of an open society, a bleak and tragic process we enact and suffer from over and over again.” -- Booklist
