The Fire Starters | Jan Carson

2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

'Spectacular. At once grittily real; wildly magical and insanely alluring - a siren-song of a novel.' DONAL RYAN'A brilliant; wry novel; fizzing with energy.' - BARNEY NORRIS Dr Jonathan Murray fears his new-born daughter might not be as harmless as she seems. Sammy Agnew is wrestling with his dark past; and fears the violence in his blood lurks in his son; too.The city is in flames and the authorities are losing control. As matters fall into frenzy; and as the lines between fantasy and truth; right and wrong; begin to blur; who will these two fathers choose to protect?Dark; propulsive and thrillingly original; this tale of fierce familial love and sacrifice fizzes with magic and wonder.

The Fire Starters | Jan Carson

Picked my copy up in Dingle on a trip to Ireland last year at the recommendation of the bookshop. Finally read it and loved it. Jonathan‘s sections were the strongest and by far my favorite, but ultimately, I think the two stories of fatherhood work well together. Carson is unique, insightful, and funny. It‘s not quite magical realism, but definitely magical. A bit glad I hadn‘t known that before, or I might not have picked it up.

“The Fire Starters” is a fantastical story like none I‘ve ever read before. The description is vivid and the characters are likeable. I‘d recommend this to those looking for something a little different – it‘s 4 stars from me.
