- Synopsis
- Mystery, history, and thriller, this novel explores Ireland-its scars, its secrets, and a mystical tree with the power to transform one man's dream into a nation's passion. Set in modern Ireland, THE RAG TREE is a thriller tucked inside a folktale and shrouded in allegory, a story of a people seeking reconciliation and identity amid unprecedented change. Written in a humorous and provocative style, THE RAG TREE echoes the wry candor of Brendan Behan's THE BORSTAL BOY and THE HOSTAGE and the puckish lyricism of Roddy Doyle's A STAR CALLED HENRY and THE COMMITMENTS. Costello knows his Irish culture, and unfurls that knowledge with sardonic wickedness, spinning surprising characters, like Brian, a classic-rock loving pooka, and plotting a tale with the exacting pulse of a natural born thriller.
