“Scéal iontach, an t-úrscéal Gaeilge is fearr le blianta fada. ”
— Gráinne • An Siopa Leabhar

Summary

Oíche Bhealtaine in 1994, cailín agus buachaill corp isteach in uisce Chuan na Gaillimhe. Breis agus seachtó bliain níos deireanaí sa Bhruiséil, tosaíonn seanbhean Ghiúdach ag labhairt i dteanga nach dtuigeann a muintir. De réir mar a sceitheann tuilleadh eolais gan choinne ó bhéal Madame Lazare, tuigeann a gariníon, Levana, gur gá gach rud atá cloiste aici faoi chúlra a seanmháthar a cheistiú ó bhonn….

Scéal é Madame Lazare a shníomhann le chéile réimse téamaí, ina measc, an grá, an fhéiniúlacht, an chuimhne agus an caillteanas. In 2022, bhí sé ar an gcéad saothar Gaeilge le hionadaíocht a dhéanamh thar ceann na hÉireann ag Duais Litríochta an Aontais Eorpaigh, tráth ar bronnadh Aitheantas Speisialta air.

The deftness of the plotting and the intricacies of the narrative remind the reader of the great sweep of works by Balzac or Thomas Mann.
