I’m so glad you enjoyed The Coast Road! I also thought it was brilliant, and was sad not to see it recognised by the Booker. Aestrea is one I’ve been very tempted by in bookshops but have managed to resist picking up. But the temptation is now rolling back around 😅
The coastal town in The Coast Road, is fashioned on Killybegs, Donegal. I have a friend from there ( who now works in England). I messaged her about the book. Turns out Alan Murrin is her mother’s cousin. This is why Ireland could never have a witness protection program.
@@jacquelinemcmenamin8204 Aha, that’s amazing! And yes, I’ve often wondered that, when characters in small Irish towns try to get away with anything- how long is that really going to remain a secret? 😂

I love a good novella that makes you think!
lovely to see you too...
I loved THE COASTAL ROAD also!
It’s so good, isn’t it?
The Coast Road has been on my list for months and now I really want to read it even more.
Ooh, I think you’ll love it!
“The Coast Road” is wonderful. Alan Murrin depicts women brilliantly. The dialogue among the characters comes across as very natural and true to life.
Yes! I felt like I knew all of those women throughout the book- so lovingly and carefully rendered!
