Restless Souls lydbok

'It never stops being a page-turner . . . a great debut' Colum McCann 'A terrific debut novel, bold and wise, each page lit with wit and with feeling' Jonathan Lee 'The funniest sad book I've read in a long time . . . A terrific debut from a dynamic new writer' J. Robert Lennon Tom, Karl and Baz grew up together in down-on-its-luck Dublin. Friends since childhood, their lives diverged when Tom left home to be a war correspondent. Now, after three years embedded in the Siege of Sarajevo, he returns a haunted shell of the lad who went away. Karl and Baz have no idea what they're doing but they are determined to see him through the darkness, even if it means travelling halfway around the world. Hearing about an unlikely cure - an experimental clinic called Restless Souls - they embark on a road trip across California. But as they try to save Tom from his memories, they must confront their own - of what happened to their childhood friend Gabriel. And in doing so, they must ask how their boisterous teenage souls became weighed down, and why life got so damn complicated and sad. Read by Edward MacLiam (P) Orion Publishing Group 2018
