💨 Abstract

Donal Ryan's "Heart, Be at Peace" is a sequel to "The Spinning Heart," set a decade after the 2008 financial collapse in an Irish rural town. The story is narrated by 21 townspeople, including Bobby Mahon, a successful contractor, and Lily, a "witch" and former prostitute. It explores the town's resilience, the impact of drug dealers, and complex community dynamics, hinting at a potential trilogy.
