Welcome to Litsy!

I am picking myself up off the floor, a mess of emotions and holding my baby tighter after finishing this. This is a masterpiece and a totally justifiable Booker prize winner. Marketed as dystopian but in reality it is close to home for many, it follows an Irish family living under an ever worsening regime and tackles the horrifying reality of “it won‘t happen here until it does”. I can not recommend this more. #prophetsong #bookerprize #paullynch

#ProphetSong by #PaulLynch is a fantastic read that smacks your head every other page. It depicts an Ireland that is slowly descending into fascism and civil war, being told by a mother of four who struggles to save her children. Very moving and an ending that will not let you go.
