Notes From Your Bookseller An Irish town up against a radical right-wing party, Prophet Song is a haunting and harrowingly modern tale that resonates with so much of the present sociopolitical landscape. Written in gorgeous lyrical prose with tangible stakes that feel all-too real, this is a read that appeals across audiences, a real masterclass of storytelling.
