The Spinning Heart Donal Ryan
ISBN: 9781781620076 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: Transworld Ireland Язык: Английский The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel.

Technically daring and evocative of Patrick McCabe and J.M. Synge, this novel of small-town life is witty, dark and sweetly poignant.
