She is the author of two books: How To Gut A Fish (2022), a collection of short stories, and Falling Animals (2023), her debut novel. It kept me going when I felt I was losing my grip on the story, pulled me back in at the end, and then it would not let go. The author then imagines the impact of the finding of the death of the stranger on a variety of characters connected with either the town where he was found (a beach resort struggling in the wake of the economic crisis) or – we find over time – associated with the man. Despite glowing reviews from GR readers I follow, I was hesitant to pick up this debut novel by Sheila Armstrong, for no other reason than she is Irish.

The story is set in a small Irish coastal town where a man is found dead on a beach, sitting upright and cross-legged, with not a shred of identity on him. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). Toch verliest het boek uiteindelijk een beetje de focus op het achterliggende verhaal van de overleden man.
