A review by afterhours
The Black Snow by Paul Lynch

4.0

A brilliant read. A truly unforgettable novel. Very evocative, dark, full of anxiety and anticipation. Raw, savage, brutal at times even. It really tugs at your heart strings. The descriptions of the Irish weather and landscape add to the overall brutality of the novel. The novel tells a reader what it is like to live and function in a close-knit community and what painful consequences of breaking that community code can be. It is a book about being an immigrant, coming back to homeland and trying to fit back into society. It is also about being a friend, a neighbour and above all about being a human.
Great piece of work.
