Product Description

A deeply affecting love story from the author of THIn Air Sarah is taking a break from her eco-warrior activities, looking after her sister's wholefood shop in a small west of Ireland town. When a dying calf is found on the local dump, she begins to make some enquiries. Before long, the dark shadow cast by modern beef production begins to emerge in another, more sinister form, and Sarah finds that her path keeps crossing that of the town butcher, Malachy Glynn. Their outlooks on life are clearly polarised, yet they find themselves uneasy allies. Because something even more compelling than the grisly events of the parish is drawing them together. Sarah and Malachy have a lot more in common than they know. An Act Of Worship vividly explores how the dead and the unborn inform the living, and how life and love

Thompson has a refreshing clarity of style, and is careful to evoke a sense of Ireland as place of strangeness and myth without being swept away on bogs and blarney' Guardian"
