From a Low and Quiet Sea
by Donal Ryan
An educated man and a doctor, Farouk is a Syrian refugee, escaping his homeland under cover of night with his wife and daughter for what he hopes will be a brighter future in western Europe. A young man, Lampy, recovering from his first broken heart, lives with his mother and grandfather while working in a care home. John, an elderly accountant and lobbyist, is filled with remorse over a failed relationship with a much younger woman. The refugee. The dreamer. The penitent. From war-torn Syria to small-town Ireland, three men, scarred by all they have loved and lost, are searching for some version of home. Each is drawn towards a powerful reckoning - one that will bring them together in the most unexpected of ways.
