Gunn Memorial Library Thursday Book Club - Prophet Song, by Paul Lynch

Join the Gunn Library Thursday evening book club to discuss Booker Prize–Winning Novel Prophet Song, by Paul Lynch, who delivers a haunting vision of a nation in crisis

On a dark, rain-soaked evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack opens her door to find two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police. Their mission: to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist. What follows is the unraveling of a family—and a nation—caught in the tightening grip of authoritarian rule.

In Prophet Song, winner of the 2023 Booker Prize and a national bestseller, author Paul Lynch delivers a chilling, prophetic portrait of a society on the brink. As Ireland descends into tyranny, Eilish must navigate an increasingly dangerous world to protect her children and preserve her humanity.

Both a gripping political thriller and an intimate family drama, Prophet Song is a devastating exploration of love, resilience, and the cost of survival in a collapsing democracy.
