LARK ASCENDING - SILAS HOUSE KARTONIERT (TB)

Winner of the Southern Book Prize ?for Fiction * Winner of a Nautilus Award (Gold)? With fires
devastating much of America  Lark and his family first leave their home in Maryland for Maine.
But as the country increasingly falls under the grip of religious nationalism  it becomes clear
that nowhere is safe  not just from physical disasters but also persecution. The family secures
a place on a crowded boat headed to Ireland  the last place on earth rumoured to be accepting
American refugees. Upon arrival  it turns out that the safe harbor of Ireland no longer exists
either-and Lark  the sole survivor of the trans-Atlantic voyage  must disappear into the
countryside. As he runs for his life  Lark finds two equally lost and desperate souls: one of
the last remaining dogs  who becomes his closest companion  and a fierce  mysterious woman in
search of her lost son. Together they form a makeshift family and attempt to reach Glendalough
a place they believe will offer protection. But can any community provide the safety that they
seek? Lark Ascending is a moving and unforgettable story of friendship and bravery  and even
more  a story of the ongoing fight to protect our per­sonal freedoms and find our shared
humanity  from a writer at the peak of his powers.
