Heart, Be At Peace 

Donal Ryan

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Heart, Be At Peace by Donal Ryan is a story of depth and complexity set in a small rural Irish community.

What We Say: "Via a cacophony of 21 voices, Donal Ryan paints an evocative picture of life in a small Irish town, 10 years after the events of his debut novel, The Spinning Heart. After weathering economic collapse a decade before, this time jobs are back and dramas forgotten - but a new menace is lurking, and the town’s peace is about to be shattered again. Despite the huge cast of characters - one per chapter - each has a unique voice, and Ryan excels at capturing the nuances of speech and emotion, getting to the heart of each of them" — Katie Teehan

What They Say: “I would struggle to think of any other Irish author working today who writes with as much compassion as Donal Ryan” — Louise O'Neil
