Spit
Welcome to Spit, where Danny Mulcahy is losing the run of himself, and where, as he and his friends dream of escaping small town life, an unexpected death sets the rumour mill into motion.
Suffering an unexplained, perpetual banishment the Spook of Spit is watching everyone and everything – nothing goes unnoticed. Bearing witness to the village's half-truths and suppressed secrets, fragments of its own dark and obscured history are unveiled.
As events spiral out of control, the past, present and future are set to collide. Can there be redemption for past deeds? How do you escape when you are fated to remain? What does it take to break free from the confines of Spit?
'A lyrical and haunting read - a beautifully observed novel on love and the loneliness it can bring.'
Cauvery Madhavan - author of Paddy Indian and The Inheritance
'SPIT is an exquisite work of art and Brennan's prose exalts poetry and beauty. This work is a song with a melody that haunts long after you turn the last page. Like one of the narrators, a spook, it gets under your skin and burrows into each of your bones to remind you of your mortality, but also of your indispensable place in this beautiful world. Love and desire are at the heart of the story, crossing time and space and leaving a mark on everyone who inhabits the mournful, longing landscape of the parish of SPIT. It takes a deft hand to wring hope from the bog, the mists, the lone hills, and Brennan does so masterfully.'
Lester Walbrugh - author of Let It Fall Where It Will and Elton Baatjies
