Kala

'I was kept awake until the birds were singing. What a story. I was riveted. It captures so much of the essence of the thrill and excitement of teenage summers, the wonderful optimism of youth and first loves, and the ease with which corruption and evil can take hold and thrive. This is a dazzling novel.' - Donal Ryan, author of The Queen of Dirt Island

'Kala is a thriller - and a lot more. It is exciting and cleverly structured, but its great strength is the characters: they are terrific.' - Roddy Doyle, the Booker Prize-winning author of Life Without Children
