Séamas O'Reilly: O'Reilly, S: Prestige Drama, Fester Einband

Klappentext

A dazzling debut about a community where an upcoming film production brings their past into sharp focus---and nobody's version is the same

In Derry, the locals are already in a twist about the arrival of Hollywood actress Monica Logue to research her role for a show about the Troubles---and then she goes missing.

Everyone has a story to tell---about Monica's possible whereabouts, and about the historic events that brought her here in the first place: the show's screenwriter, desperate for this last shot at success; the grieving mother whose story he's adapting; the ex-IRA member who knows the price of survival; the local psychic who's seen too much... Prestige Drama brings to life a chorus of characters as they locate themselves in Monica's disappearance, and in the truth about their own history.

From the author of the acclaimed memoir Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? , Prestige Drama is heartbreaking, hilarious, and profound, an indelible portrait of a community both obsessed with its past, and desperate to forget it.
