Donal Ryan

This August, the Nenagh-born author will release his eighth book, titled Heart, be At Peace.

It has now been announce that the Launch of 'Heart, be at Peace' will be held in The Nenagh Bookshop on Thursday, 8th August 7pm-9pm with refreshments being served and all welcome.

A sequel to his debut The Spinning Heart, Donal’s new novel takes us to a small town in rural Ireland, where people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are now looking towards the future. But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore, as the peace of the community is about to be shattered. 

Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch.

Described as a stunning lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace can either be read independently, or as a companion to The Spinning Heart.

Heart, be at Peace will be published on Thursday, August 15.
