Watch Caitríona Balfe read an extract from ‘Prophet Song’, a Booker Prize 2023-shortlisted novel written by Paul Lynch.
The story so far: Ireland is in the grip of a government that is taking a turn towards tyranny. On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her doorstep. Two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police want to speak with her husband. And as the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a collapsing society.
