Birchwood (Vintage International)

Birchwood (Vintage International)

An early classic from the Man Booker-prize winning author of The Sea.

I am therefore I think. So starts John Banvilleâ€™s 1973 novel Birchwood, a novel that centers around Gabriel Godkin and his return to his dilapidated family estate. After years away, Gabriel returns to a house filled with memories and despair. Delving deep into family secretsâ€”a cold father, a tortured mother, an insane grandmotherâ€”Gabriel also recalls his first encounters with love and loss. At once a novel of a family, of isolation, and of a blighted Ireland, Birchwood is a remarkable and complex story about the end of innocence for one boy and his country, told in the brilliantly styled prose of one of our most essential writers.
