Stranger at Home

Following in the footsteps of Nobel Laureate Heinrich Böll’s 1956 classic Irish Journal, Hugo Hamilton revisits Böll’s evocations of 18 places across the island to take stock of the changes that have occurred over the last seven decades in Ireland. Part travelogue, part memoir, part social commentary, and part comic masterpiece, this latest offering from one of Ireland’s best-selling authors (his memoir The Speckled People, his ten novels) is sure to sell in very large numbers.
