'I don't mean the baths, I mean with a pal. For a lark like.'\n Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of Dublin rock where gentlemen bathe in the scandalous nude, two boys meet day after day. There they make a pact: that Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, they will swim the bay to the distant beacon of the Muglins rock, to raise the Green and claim it for themselves. As a turbulent year drives inexorably towards the Easter Rising of 1916 and Ireland sets forth on a path to uncertain glory, a tender, secret love story unfolds. Written with verve and mastery in a modern Irish tradition descended from James Joyce and Flann O'Brien, At Swim, Two Boys is a shimmering novel of unforgettable ambition, intensity and humanity. \n'One of the greatest Irish novels ever written' David Marcus\n 'The music of Jamie O'Neill's prose creates a new Irish symphony' Peter Ackroyd\n 'Heartachingly beautiful' Independent on Sunday\n 'A vivid picture of human freedom' Sunday Times","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49572216701216,"sku":"9780743207140","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780743207140.jpg?v=1780873599","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/at-swim-two-boys-jamie-oneill-9780743207140","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
