The Colony / Audrey Magee. - London : Faber & Faber, 2022. - 376 stron ; 22 cm.
It is the summer of 1979.
An English painter travels to a small island off the west coast of Ireland.
He doesn't know that a Frenchman follows close behind. Jean-Pierre Masson has visited the island for many years, studying the language of those who make it their home.
An expertly woven portrait of character and place, a stirring investigation into yearning to find one's way, and an unflinchingly political critique of the long, seething cost of imperialism, Audrey Magee's "The Colony" is a novel that transports, that celebrates beauty and connection, and that reckons with the inevitable ruptures of independence.
