Editor's Note:
A classic novel of family, isolation, and a blighted Ireland from the Man Booker-prize winning author of The Sea— about the end of innocence for a boy and his country. I am therefore I think .

Birchwood is a remarkable and complex story, told in the brilliantly styled prose of one of our most essential writers.
