The Colony
The Colony
Audrey Magee
What We Say: Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in the 1970s, this evocative, melancholy novel explores themes of nationalism, culture, art and post-colonialism, with sparse, painterly prose.
What They Say: “The Colony is a novel of ideas… Magee builds her world with a rich particularity… while acting as a reminder of imperialism’s broader legacy” – The New York Times Book Review
