Award-winning Irish novelist Donal Ryan’s fourth novel is brilliantly colloquial, lyrical, sometimes brutal.   Set in Ireland in a state of postmodern decay, it exerts a powerful grip on the reader as Ryan explores the, often discomforting, psychological cruelties and fatalism of rural life.

Written with elegant lyricism, ‘All we shall know’ picks through the sweeping aside of old ways in society and the clumsy creation of new lives and the search for meaning.  While the future looms, the past won’t let go.
