A brilliantly inventive and witty novel about legacy and birthright from Kathleen Murray, Ireland’s brightest new literary voice. Frank Whelan is the seventh son of a seventh son, so by now should have inherited his father’s legendary healing power, but still hasn’t managed to graduate beyond small-time skin afflictions. He already feels adrift when his twin, Bernie, reveals a life-changing decision that calls into question everything Frank thought he knew about his place in the family. And then he discovers his father had been keeping secrets of his own. And so Frank turns to an unlikely source for guidance and finds himself on a quest for answers… from this world, and the next. A boundlessly inventive novel about the past’s hold over the present, set in an Irish community alive with old magic and extraordinary possibility, The Deadwood Encore is an electrifying debut from one of Ireland’s most acclaimed short-fiction authors. In the rural town, where the supernatural and the occult are as common as the air they breathe, Frank finds himself in the midst of secrets and revelations. The Deadwood Encore, a top-rated novel by Kathleen Murray, takes readers on a journey through the extraordinary possibilities of old magic. For fans of Paul Lynch (Prophet Song), Anne Enright (The Wren, The Wren), Bonnie Garmus (Lessons in Chemistry), Alice Ryan (There's Been a Little Incident), and Eleanor Catton (Birnam Wood).
