    "Both blunt and exquisite . . . O'Connor's excellent debut . . . is an example of precisely observed writing that makes a character's specific existence glimmer with verisimilitude." -- New York Times Book Review "Spare and bracing...O'Connor constructs her setting with precise, atmospheric detail that captures a world slowly being eroded....It all makes for a haunting and lucid exploration of the moments leading up to immense change." -- NPR " Whale Fall is an astonishingly assured debut that straddles many polarities: love and loss, the familiar and the strange, trust and betrayal, land and sea, life and death. O'Connor has created a beguiling and beguiled narrator in Manod: I loved seeing the world through her eyes, and I didn't want the novel to end" --Maggie O'Farrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Marriage Portrait and Hamnet "A haunting, unhurried, unusual debut...O'Connor offers a clear-eyed exploration of our tendency to fetishize the rural, the isolated, and what it means to become an object of study." -- Joanna Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Whalebone Theater " Whale Fall is a powerful novel, written with a calm, luminous precision, each feeling rendered with chiseled care, the drama of island life unfolding with piercing emotional accuracy" --Colm Toibin, New York Times bestselling author of Brooklyn and The Magician "O'Connor's slim, powerful debut vibrates with elemental, immediate, and palpable scenes and descriptions...O'Connor's spare, incisive prose brings the island to vivid life." --Boston Globe "These minimalist pages shimmer...What a testament to the capaciousness, generosity and emotional range of true art." --Scientific American "I absolutely adored Whale Fall . I fell completely under its spell: the quiet beauty of it, the mounting sense of loss, the subtle way that Elizabeth O'Connor handled the exploitation, betrayal and desecration of a small community. Every sentence rang with clarity and authenticity. It's a triumph." --Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory and Circus of Wonders "Beautiful and restrained, Whale Fall moves like a tide, ebbing and flowing. A novel that matches the simplicity and timelessness of the classics of island literature, reminiscent of Tomás O'Crohan or Robin Flower, it is transporting and utterly beautiful." --Seán Hewitt, author of All Down Darkness Wide "The quiet cadences of Whale Fall contain a deep melody of loss held and let go. It is a gentle, tough story about profound change." --Anne Enright, Booker Prizewinning author of The Gathering "Mesmerizing... Whale Fall is a rich and quietly compelling novel that vividly captures the community's transformation. Entrancing descriptions illuminate the raw beauty of the island through seasonal changes. --Bookpage, " Whale Fall is an astonishingly assured debut that straddles many polarities: love and loss, the familiar and the strange, trust and betrayal, land and sea, life and death. O'Connor has created a beguiling and beguiled narrator in Manod: I loved seeing the world through her eyes, and I didn't want the novel to end" --Maggie O'Farrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Marriage Portrait and Hamnet "I absolutely adored Whale Fall .

Every sentence rang with clarity and authenticity. I felt the salt stinging my cheeks, smelled the smoke from the fires, and more than anything, Manod's hope and longing and fight rooted within me too. It's a triumph; Elizabeth should be so proud." --Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory and Circus of Wonders "I devoured the exquisite Whale Fall by Elizabeth O'Connor. Immersive, elegiac and silvered with salt, it follows a young woman, Manod, and what happens when two anthropologists arrive to study the isolated island community she calls home. Beautiful." --Lizzie Pook, author of Moonlight and The Pearler's Daughter "Beautiful and restrained, Whale Fall moves like a tide, ebbing and flowing.

A notable debut imbued with the pain of buried promise" --Booklist (starred review) "O'Connor prompts us to consider what it is to experience ourselves--and our cultures--through strangers' eyes.

    Synopsis
    THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE BOOK - A stunning debut from an award-winning writer, about loss, isolation, folklore, and the joy and dissonance of finding oneself by exploring life outside one's community "Both blunt and exquisite . . . O'Connor's excellent debut . . . is an example of precisely observed writing that makes a character's specific existence glimmer with verisimilitude."--Maggie Shipstead, New York Times Book Review " Whale Fall is a powerful novel, written with a calm, luminous precision, each feeling rendered with chiseled care, the drama of island life unfolding with piercing emotional accuracy." --Colm Toibin, New York Times bestselling author of Long Island In 1938, a dead whale washes up on the shores of remote Welsh island. For Manod, who has spent her whole life on the island, it feels like both a portent of doom and a symbol of what may lie beyond the island's shores. A young woman living with her father and her sister (to whom she has reluctantly but devotedly become a mother following the death of their own mother years prior), Manod can't shake her welling desire to explore life beyond the beautiful yet blisteringly harsh islands that her hardscrabble family has called home for generations. The arrival of two English ethnographers who hope to study the island culture, then, feels like a boon to her--both a glimpse of life outside her community and a means of escape. The longer the ethnographers stay, the more she feels herself pulled towards them, reckoning with a sensual awakening inside herself, despite her misgivings that her community is being misconstrued and exoticized. With shimmering prose tempered by sharp wit, Whale Fall tells the story of what happens when one person's ambitions threaten the fabric of a community, and what can happen when they are realized. O'Connor paints a portrait of a community and a woman on the precipice, forced to confront an outside world that seems to be closing in on them., THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE BOOK * A stunning debut from an award-winning writer, about loss, isolation, folklore, and the joy and dissonance of finding oneself by exploring life outside one's community "Both blunt and exquisite . . .
