Acerca de esta escucha

Winner of the Baileys' Women's Prize for Fiction 2016.

Winner of the Desmond Elliot Prize 2016.

Longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize 2016.

Longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year.

He was definitely dead, whoever he was. He wore a once-black jumper and a pair of shiny tracksuit bottoms. The back of his head was cracked and his hair matted, but it had been foxy before that.

A tall man, a skinny rake, another string of piss, now departed. She hadn't gotten a look at his face before she flaked him with the Holy Stone, and she couldn't bring herself to turn him over.

One messy murder affects the lives of five misfits who exist on the fringes of Ireland's postcrash society. Ryan is a 15-year-old drug dealer desperate not to turn out like his alcoholic father, Tony, whose obsession with his unhinged next-door neighbour threatens to ruin him and his family. Georgie is a prostitute whose willingness to feign a religious conversion has dangerous repercussions while Maureen, the accidental murderer, has returned to Cork after 40 years in exile to discover that Jimmy, the son she was forced to give up years before, has grown into the most fearsome gangster in the city.

In seeking atonement for the murder and a multitude of other perceived sins, Maureen threatens to destroy everything her son has worked so hard for while her actions risk bringing the intertwined lives of the Irish underworld into the spotlight....

Biting, moving and darkly funny, The Glorious Heresies explores salvation, shame and the legacy of Ireland's 20th-century attitudes towards sex and family.

Amazing performance, brilliant book

Loved the Maureen character. Amazing dialog. Sad, believable characters. And the narration was outstanding. Loved the references to the river throughout, and the ghosts.

The Best Narration

Some stories are meant to be heard. Shelley Atkinson's narration of The Glorious Heresies made a fantastic story even better. Atkinson really brought the characters and their corner of Ireland to life.

Excellent

Beautifully written. A masterful combination of tragedy and with very human humorous moments. The reader/listener enters the lives of these characters. I will be reading everything this author publishes.

Outstanding

Would you listen to The Glorious Heresies again? Why?

The writing, the language, the masterful performance

What does Shelley Atkinson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her accents and clear voices of each character, an excellent performance.

The narrator is wonderful. Thestory; baffling

The story was so confusing that it made it hard to appreciate their lovely accent in which it was read .
