A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A powerful, thought-provoking
novel about two sisters who must reclaim themselves after their
lives are dramatically upended from one of our finest authors
Alison Donnelly has suffered for love. Still stuck in the small
Northern Irish town where she was born, working for her father's
real estate agency, she hopes to pick up the pieces and get her
life back together. Her sister Liz, a fiercely independent college
professor who lives in New York City, is about to return to Ulster
for Alison's second wedding, before heading to an island off the
coast of Papua New Guinea to make a TV show about the world's
newest religion. Both sisters' lives are about to be shaken apart.
Alison wakes up the day after her wedding to find that her new
husband has a past neither of them can escape. In a rainforest on
the other side of the planet, Liz finds herself becoming
increasingly entangled in the eerie, charged world of Belef, the
subject of her show, a charismatic middle-aged woman who is the
leader of a cargo cult. As Modern Gods ingeniously interweaves the
stories of Liz and Alison, it becomes clear that both sisters must
learn how to negotiate with the past, with the sins of fanaticism,
and decide just what the living owe to the dead. Laird's brave,
innovative novel charts the intimacies and disappointments of a
family trying to hold itself together, and the repercussions of
history and faith.
