Swallowing the Sun by David Park

Recommended Posts

I discovered this book by Northern Irish author David Park last week. I heard his name mentioned in a throwaway line on Mariella Frostrup's Sunday book programme and I am simply stunned by what I am reading. In essence this is a story about childhood and family life and how our futures are affected by what happens in our younger years. I don't want to talk too much about the plot but the emotions this book is creating within me are difficult to describe. I am amazed and ashamed that before reading this book I had never heard of David Park and equally astounded that he is devoid of any book awards....please..please...do read this book and lets talk about it on this forum....I need to talk about it, it is probably the greatest book I have ever read....
