Ronan O'Brien - Confessions of a Fallen Angel

Beschrijving boek

‘Dying was the easy bit. It was during my life after death that things started to go wrong. A conspiracy of coincidences perhaps or else maybe some higher power was having a laugh at my expense. But when I returned from the other side I brought something fearful back with me.’

Following a near-death experience as a child, the narrator becomes cursed with the ability to foresee the deaths of the people closest to him.

These visions come to him in his dreams and, following a disastrous attempt to save a friend from drowning, a series of terrifying events begins to unfold. As a young man he finds redemption in the arms of Ashling, his beautiful wife. But then the visions return …

This is a story about one man’s struggle to live an ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances; about love lost and found and the vast range of emotions that can be weathered by the human heart. This is a story where dreams come true but where dreams can turn into nightmares; a place where true love will prevail and where death is only the beginning.

Set in the fictional Dublin suburb of Rathgorman, Confessions of a Fallen Angel is a truly remarkable debut that will grip you from the first line and surprise you to the last.
