This is a passionate and heart-wrenching debut novel which brings
to life Ireland's bitter, strife-torn history. "You wouldn't get
involved, Johnny, would you? What about those terrible bombs? You
wouldn't do a bad thing, would you?" In this passionate and
heart-wrenching debut novel by Irish writer Mark Mulholland, we
meet Johnny Donnelly--an intense young man who is in love with
books, with his country, and with the beautiful Cora Flannery. But
in his dark and secret other life he shoots British soldiers: he is
an IRA sniper. How can this be? As his two worlds inevitably move
towards a dramatic collision, Johnny takes us on a journey through
the history, legends, and landscapes of his beloved Ireland. In the
end, Johnny has to make sense of his inheritance and his life, and
he does so in a riveting, redemptive, and unforgettable climax.
Told in Johnny's unique voice, and peopled by a cast of
extraordinary characters, A Mad and Wonderful Thing tells its tale
lightly, but pulls a heavy load. It takes us beyond the charming,
familiar, and often funny experiences of everyday life to the
forces that bind people together, and that set them against each
other--and to the profound consequences of the choices that they
make.
