À propos de cet audio
Winner of the Booker Prize 2023
On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother of four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her step. Two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police are here to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist.
Ireland is falling apart. The country is in the grip of a government turning towards tyranny and when her husband disappears, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a society that is quickly unravelling.
How far will she go to save her family? And what – or who – is she willing to leave behind?
Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of a country at war and a deeply human portrait of a mother’s fight to hold her family together.
2023, Booker Prize, Winner
2023, An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year, Short-listed
2025, Dublin Literary Award, Long-listed

Baumgartner’s life had been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna, who was killed in a swimming accident nine years earlier. Now 71, Baumgartner continues to struggle to live in her absence as the novel sinuously unfolds into spirals of memory and reminiscence, delineated in episodes spanning from 1968, when Sy and Anna meet as broke students working and writing in New York, through their passionate relationship over the next 40 years, and back to Baumgartner’s youth in Newark and his Polish-born father’s life as a dress-shop owner and failed revolutionary.

For years, there have been whispers that, before his death, Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait. Curators and art historians have savored this rumor, hoping it could illuminate some of the troubled artist's many secrets, but even they have to concede that the missing painting is likely lost forever. But when Luke Perrone, artist and great-grandson of the man who stole the Mona Lisa, and Alexis Verde, daughter of a notorious art thief, discover what may be the missing portrait, they are drawn into a most epic art puzzles.

It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children and made a home for him which was the envy of their friends. It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth’s son and then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up. Isolation, deceit and betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women and between their different worlds. In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want and what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity.

Vivian Gordon went out before midnight in a velvet dress and mink coat. Her body turned up the next morning in a desolate Bronx park, a dirty clothesline wrapped around her neck. At her stylish Manhattan apartment, detectives discovered notebooks full of names—businessmen, socialites, gangsters. And something else—a letter from an anti-corruption commission established by Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Emma is the one that got away. The only survivor of a serial killer known in the tabloids as “The Hairdresser”, because of the trophies he takes from his victims. The police aren't convinced. Nor is her husband. She never actually saw her tormentor properly, but now she recognizes him in every man she sees. Haunted by the horrifying incident and unwanted notoriety, Emma gives up her job as a psychiatrist and retreats from the outside world to recuperate at home, where it’s quiet. Where she can be anonymous and safe. Where no one can hurt her.

Ce que les critiques en disent
The writer has been compared to Cormac McCarthy and Faulkner and I now know why. A stunning work that will be read for generations to come.
I stepped into this without really knowing anything about it other than I probably wasn’t interested in the subject matter. I thought I’d give it a chapter or two and see how it went since it won the Booker Prize.
Oh my God, what an amazing experience. The subject of the book, the power and the darkness is not for everyone, but if you appreciate great literature, this is it.
This is a timeless masterpiece.

Gripping tale
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Overuse of simile in prose; felt as if writer penned a few rough sentences and asked an AI boy to embellish. The story stood beautifully on its own and was diminished by these redundancies. This is my opinion and perhaps not widely held, as the novel received acclaim.
The narrator (or perhaps the recording/editing) ‘swallowed’ the first letter of any use of the pronoun “she”, in particular at the beginning of a sentence, to sound like “he”. This was so prevalent that it became a distraction.
Despite these criticisms, thought-provoking tale that many would do well to listen to.
Compelling story

3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved the audiobook but hated reading the book.
There are no quotation marks, breaks between dialogues or paragraphs breaks.
You really have to be completely focused in order to identify the voice.
Fortunately the audiobook was on sale, and the narration is excellent, and because I read and listened simultaneously, it made the reading a lot easier.
Still… this was quite boring.
It is for sure beautifully written (quotations or not) but the storyline did not impress me or entertain me, or even touched me in any way.
It was definitely not for me, never mind the fact that it won a literary award.
I forced myself to finish it only because I purchased a copy and also because of the excellent narration of the audiobook.
