A book about family, selfishness and compassion on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, from the Booker Prize-winner.Hanna, Dan, Constance and Emmet return to the west coast of Ireland for a final family Christmas in the home their mother is about to sell.

| Review Quote | Confirms her as one of the most significant writers of her generation…. A master. She has certainly produced a masterly work. |
| Other text | The Green Road is true and rueful, as terribly adult in its clarity as its battered Madigans. |
