About this deal

The resentment of the islanders towards the wealthy Kinsella family comes across loud and clear with plenty of tension, suspicion and mistrust.

A few notes on the general story: O'Neill habitually sprinkles Irish words and phrases throughout the story in a way that feels somewhat.

Ten years on two Australian film makers are producing a documentary about it and Henry has high hopes this will put the past behind them. They’ve always protested their innocence in Nessa’s murder but there’s something horribly rotten about their superficial, outwardly perfect world.

They don't like blow-in's like the Kinsella's and treat those who fall in with them (like Keelin) with similar suspicion. The premise of the book seems simple: two documentary makers come to the (fictional) island of Inis Rún off the cost of Cork, to make a documentary about the murder of Nessa Crowley, in hopes to find out who done it and/or gain closure for the family. When the truth is revealed at the end, it isn’t the big twisty shocker some readers – myself included – would have been hoping for. After The Silence by David Loschke is a fully entertaining, thoughtful, and thought-provoking read from cover to cover original and deftly crafted “is especially and unreservedly recommended for community library Science Fiction collections. But most of th ways our society enables abuse are far more pernicious, and Henry is a textbook case.I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Keelin is a woman trained to spot the signs of domestic abuse but even she doesn’t notice when it’s happening right in front of her own eyes, in her own home, and it’s devastating to read.

The book is set in west Cork, and her accent veers from Dublin to a really broad Midlands accent, both of which are a very long way from west Cork. In this bold, brilliant, disturbing new novel Louise O'Neill shows that deadly secrets are devastating to those who hold them close. Keelin strikes up an unlikely friendship with one of the filmmakers, and does everything in her power to protect Henry and Alex from the consequences of the true events of that night. Henry's role as the classic thriller villain was perfect, in my opinion, for highlighting Keelin's complexity, as infuriating as his character was to read.
