RESTLESS SOULS by Dan Sheehan Weidenfeld €12.74

‘We loved each other with a fierceness that no one has the energy for any more,’ says Karl of his relationships with Tom, Baz and Gabriel. Their friendship was filled with madcap escapades in Dublin. But now that fizzy energy has dissipated: Tom is suicidal, Baz is battling a short fuse, and Karl is mourning his dead foster brother Gabriel. They head to California in search of a cure, trying to come to terms with grief, bereavement and broken bonds in this tender, banter-filled debut.
