When several children from the same village start succumbing to a
mysterious illness, the quest to discover the cause has devastating
and extraordinary consequences. 'Absolutely MAGNIFICENT: dark,
witty, charming. I LOVED it.' MARIAN KEYES 'Utterly absorbing' LISA
MCINERNEY 'Heart-rending, hilarious . . . it's a belter' LOUISE
KENNEDY 'Blistering...glorious...written from the guts and from the
heart.' LUCY CALDWELL 'An original and exciting work that's equal
parts terrifying, hilarious and memorable.' SUNDAY TIMES It is late
June in Ballylack. Hannah Adger anticipates eight long weeks'
reprieve from school, but when her classmate Ross succumbs to a
violent and mysterious illness, it marks the beginning of a summer
like no other. As others fall ill, questions about what - or who -
is responsible pitch the village into conflict and fearful
disarray. Hannah is haunted by guilt as she remains healthy while
her friends are struck down. Isolated and afraid, she prays for
help. Elsewhere in the village, tempers simmer, panic escalates and
long-buried secrets threaten to emerge. Bursting with Carson's
trademark wit, profound empathy and soaring imagination, The
Raptures explores how tragedy can unite a small community - and
tear it apart. At its heart is the extraordinary resilience of one
young girl. As the world crumbles around her, she must find the
courage to be different in a place where conforming feels like the
only option available. Darkly funny, highly inventive and deeply
moving, The Raptures is an unmissable novel of 2022.
