À propos de cet audio
A breathtaking and redemptive novel from the award-winning and Man Booker-nominated author Donal Ryan.
Melody Shee is alone and in trouble. At 33 years old, she finds herself pregnant with the child of a 17-year-old Traveler boy, Martin Toppy, and not by her husband, Pat. Melody was teaching Martin to read, but now he's gone, and Pat leaves, too, full of rage. She's trying to stay in the moment, but the future is looming, while the past won't let her go. It's a good thing that she meets Mary Crothery when she does. Mary is a bold young Traveler woman, and she knows more about Melody than she lets on. She might just save Melody's life.
Following the nine months of her pregnancy, All We Shall Know unfolds with emotional immediacy in Melody's fierce, funny, and unforgettable voice as she contends with her choices, past and present.

"So fine is this novel, and so purely told, that it establishes Mr. Ryan as the heir apparent to the late, great Irish stylists John McGahern and William Trevor.... There are countless passages...that are so sculpted and beautiful that one’s lips begin to shape their words unbidden, the way a song can move a crowd to its rhythm." (Wall Street Journal)
"A dwarf star of a novel: small, dark, impressively dense.... All We Shall Know makes a novel about the heaviness of existence into something that is even, and easy - and, at times, perfect, and right." (Boston Globe)
"[A] haunting, beautifully written story.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
