Return To Killybegs by Sorj Chalandon
Tyrone Meehan, a man vilified as an informer, ekes out his days in Donegal, waiting for his killers to come. Return to Killybegs, translated from the French, by prize-winning novelist Sorj Chalandon, tells the story of a traitor to his tribe, the Catholic community of Belfast, emerging from the white heat of a prolonged war during the 70s and 80s in Northern Ireland. This powerful work, lauded by critics, shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt and awarded the Grand Prix de Roman de l'Academie Francaise, is on a subject that touches a nerve for most Irish people: the all-too-human nature and circumstances of betrayal and survival. It is an authentic and extraordinary read.
