Joey wants everyone to know the truth,but who'll believe the testimony of a kidnapper,a fantasist,a jailbird,when he says he knows what happened to Campbell Morris in the resevoir,and Detective Tuite in the animal pit? Who wants to hear his stories when the men of violence are now pillars of society? But try silencing Joey Tallon. Scotsfield's only true living genius is gonna tell it like it was! 'Call me the Breeze' is a simple story of a complex desire - the story of a relentless quest for a place called home which exists in a spiritual landscape located somewhere between Ireland and Iowa. It is a breathtaking novel which spans Ireland's last thirty turbulent years and confirms Partick McCabe as one of the finest and most exciting novelists writing today.

" A magical debut novel from Rita Leganski, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is the tale of a mute boy whose gift of wondrous hearing reveals family secrets and forgotten voodoo lore and exposes a murder that threatens the souls of those who love him. Bonaventure Arrow didn't make a peep when he was born, and the doctor nearly took him for dead. But he was listening, placing sound inside quiet and gaining his bearings. By the time he turns five, he can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He also hears the voice of his dead father, William Arrow, mysteriously murdered by a man known only as the Wanderer. Exploring family relics, he opens doors to the past and finds the key to a web of secrets that both hold his family together and threaten to tear them apart. Set against the backdrop of 1950s New Orleans, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is a magical story about the lost art of listening and a wondrous little boy who brings healing to the souls of all who love him.

" A magical debut novel from Rita Leganski, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is the tale of a mute boy whose gift of wondrous hearing reveals family secrets and forgotten voodoo lore and exposes a murder that threatens the souls of those who love him. Bonaventure Arrow didn't make a peep when he was born, and the doctor nearly took him for dead. But he was listening, placing sound inside quiet and gaining his bearings. By the time he turns five, he can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He also hears the voice of his dead father, William Arrow, mysteriously murdered by a man known only as the Wanderer. Exploring family relics, he opens doors to the past and finds the key to a web of secrets that both hold his family together and threaten to tear them apart. Set against the backdrop of 1950s New Orleans, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is a magical story about the lost art of listening and a wondrous little boy who brings healing to the souls of all who love him.
