Description
He can feel the rivers presence. It never leaves him; it is there, always, on the edge of his consciousness. Even in sleep, it flows through his dreams, watching, waiting, coaxing his attention.Luke OBrien has left Dublin to live a quiet life on his family land on the bend of the River Sullane. Alone in his big house, he longs for a return to his familys heyday and turns to books for solace. One morning a young woman arrives at his door and enters his life with profound consequences. She presents him and his family with an almost impossible dilemma.In a novel that pays glorious homage to Joyce, The River Capture tells of one mans descent into near madness, culminating in an experience of astonishing beauty and transcendence. This is a novel about love, loyalty and the raging forces of nature. More than anything, it is a book about the life of the mind and the redemptive powers of art.
