Brendan Casey reads the first page of his debut novel She That Lay Silent-Like Upon Our Shore (John Murray Originals)

‘An act of pure imagination: this is one of those stories that arrive fully formed in the writer’s head, asking to be written first and understood later. The result is a kind of vision, told with great attention to language, voice and tone’—Anne Enright.
