THE BLACK SNOW - PAUL LYNCH KARTONIERT (TB)

BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKER PRIZE LONGLISTED PROPHET SONG.'Paul Lynch is peerless' Donal Ryan 
author of Strange FlowersIn the spring of 1945  farm-worker Matthew Peoples runs into a burning
byre and does not come out alive. The farm's owner  Barnabas Kane  can only look on as his
friend dies and all 43 of his cattle are destroyed in the blaze. Following the disaster  the
bull-headed and proudly self-sufficient Barnabas is forced to reach out to the farming
community for assistance. But resentment simmers over Matthew Peoples' death  and Barnabas and
his family begin to believe their efforts at recovery are being sabotaged. Barnabas is
determined to hold firm. Yet his son Billy struggles under the weight of a terrible secret  and
his wife Eskra is suffocated by the uncertainty surrounding their future. And as Barnabas
fights ever harder for what is rightfully his  his loved ones are drawn ever closer to a fate
that should never have been theirs. In The Black Snow  Paul Lynch takes the pastoral novel and
- with the calmest of hands - tears it apart. With beautiful  haunting prose  Lynch illuminates
what it means to be alive during crisis  and puts to the test our deepest certainties about
humankind.
