From the international bestselling and Booker Prize nominated
author of The Slap comes a blazingly brilliant new novel.
Longlisted for the 2014 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award You lose
everything. In front of everyone. Where do you go from here? Daniel
Kelly, a talented young swimmer, has one chance to escape his
working-class upbringing. His astonishing ability in the pool
should drive him to fame and fortune, as well as his revenge on the
rich boys at the private school to which he has won a sports
scholarship. Everything Danny has ever done, every sacrifice his
family has ever made, has been in pursuit of his dream. But when he
melts down at his first big international championship and comes
only fifth, he begins to destroy everything he has fought for and
turn on everyone around him. Tender and savage, Barracuda is a
novel about dreams and disillusionment, friendship and family. As
Daniel Kelly loses everything, he learns what it means to be a good
person - and what it takes to become one.
