Reviews
"Kala is a thriller--and a lot more. It is exciting and cleverly structured, but its great strength is the characters: they are terrific." -- Roddy Doyle , Booker Prize-winning author of Life Without Children "Colin Walsh's debut Kala is a heartbreaking story of love and lost youth that is at once tender and absolutely gutting. Psychologically rangy and ultimately riveting, Kala is a book you'll not just read and love, but lend to those you love." -- Smith Henderson , author of Fourth of July Creek "A debut novel of skill and fire, Kala crackles with passion as it depicts the urgent bonds of youth and the monsters that emerge when we peer into the past." -- Rob Doyle , author of Threshold "The very definition of page-turner, full of big personalities, rapid twists and unpredictable moments, cast both in vivid colour and deepest shadow. I tore through it." -- Lisa McInerney , author of The Rules of Revelation, Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Electric Literature " Kala hits its mark: it's a beautiful and taut work of prose." -- Electric Literature "Kala is a thriller--and a lot more. It is exciting and cleverly structured, but its great strength is the characters: they are terrific." -- Roddy Doyle , Booker Prize-winning author of Life Without Children "Colin Walsh's debut Kala is a heartbreaking story of love and lost youth that is at once tender and absolutely gutting. Psychologically rangy and ultimately riveting, Kala is a book you'll not just read and love, but lend to those you love." -- Smith Henderson , author of Fourth of July Creek "A debut novel of skill and fire, Kala crackles with passion as it depicts the urgent bonds of youth and the monsters that emerge when we peer into the past." -- Rob Doyle , author of Threshold "I was kept awake until the birds were singing. What a story. I was riveted. It captures so much of the essence of the thrill and excitement of teenage summers, the wonderful optimism of youth and first loves, and the ease with which corruption and evil can take hold and thrive. This is a dazzling novel." -- Donal Ryan , author of The Queen of Dirt Island "The very definition of page-turner, full of big personalities, rapid twists and unpredictable moments, cast both in vivid colour and deepest shadow. I tore through it." -- Lisa McInerney , author of The Rules of Revelation, A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ELECTRIC LITERATURE "[A] gritty heartbreaker of a thriller...Part heartfelt coming-of-age tale, part brutal Irish noir, this is a spectacular read for Donna Tartt and Tana French fans." -- Kirkus, starred review " Kala hits its mark: it's a beautiful and taut work of prose." -- Electric Literature "This is a masterful reworking of the whodunnit, one you'll have immense difficulty putting down...especially enjoyable to read." -The Irish Times "Now here's a truly ambitious debut novel that purrs with narrative confidence - hugely engaging and thoroughly addictive." -- Kevin Barry, author of Night Boat to Tangier " Kala is a thriller--and a lot more.

I tore through it." -- Lisa McInerney, author of The Rules of Revelation "A sizzling debut of nostalgia and secrets... Comparisons to Donna Tartt's Secret History are justified. Kala is both a genuine page-turner and a profound meditation on memory and how it shapes our lives - how our past selves forever haunt the people we become." -- The Guardian "Compelling... Kala is an addictive read, with a pacy denouement - and explosive revelation - that's more than worth the wait." -- The Daily Telegraph "A vividly spun web of a novel... Walsh's pin-balling language seems to contain within it both the volatile ecstasy of being young, and the precipitous darkness that often accompanies it. A compulsive joy." -- The Daily Mail "Impressive... Kala heralds an exciting new voice." -- The Observer "The characters unfold beautifully on the page as the plot builds to breakneck speed. A mesmerising debut thriller wrapped in lyrical writing." Woman & Home, Book of the Month "This shimmering novel teems with tension and is so brilliantly executed it's hard to believe it's a debut." The Bookseller , Editor's Choice, Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Electric Literature " Kala hits its mark: it's a beautiful and taut work of prose." -- Electric Literature "Irish author Walsh makes an assured debut with this gritty heartbreaker of a thriller... Part heartfelt coming-of-age tale, part brutal Irish noir, this is a spectacular read for Donna Tartt and Tana French fans." -- Kirkus " Kala is a vividly spun web of a novel, in which allegiance, betrayal, complicity and the truth of what happened to Kala interweave as the secretive ugly tribal underbelly of Kinlough is gradually revealed...his pin-balling language seems to contain within it both the volatile ecstasy of being young, and the precipitous darkness that often accompanies it. A compulsive joy." -- The Daily Mail "A sizzling debut of nostalgia and secrets... With the strong group dynamic and the lingering promise of bloodshed, comparisons to Donna Tartt's Secret History are justified. Kala is both a genuine page-turner and a profound meditation on memory and how it shapes our lives - how our past selves forever haunt the people we become." -- The Guardian "Now here's a truly ambitious debut novel that purrs with narrative confidence - hugely engaging and thoroughly addictive." -- Kevin Barry , author of Night Boat to Tangier " Kala is a thriller--and a lot more.

Synopsis
A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR NPR, THE GUARDIAN , THE INDEPENDENT , THE TABLET, AND CRIMEREADS - "An enthralling, evocative and heartfelt mystery" (Chris Whitaker) from a rising Irish talent in which former friends, estranged for twenty years, reckon with the terrifying events of the summer that changed their lives. "The perfect read for hot summer days and dark nights."--Ruth Ware "[A] gritty heartbreaker of a thriller...a spectacular read for Donna Tartt and Tana French fans."-- Kirkus "A master class in building suspense."-- The Washington Post In the seaside town of Kinlough, on Ireland's west coast, three old friends are thrown together for the first time in years. They--Helen, Joe, and Mush--were part of an original group of six inseparable teenagers in the summer of 2003, with motherless, reckless Kala Lanann as their group's white-hot center. Soon after that summer's peak, Kala disappeared without a trace. Now it's fifteen years later: Helen has reluctantly returned to Ireland for her father's wedding; Joe is a world-famous musician, newly back in town; and Mush has never left, too scared to venture beyond the counter of his mother's café. But human remains have been discovered in the woods. Two more girls have gone missing. And as past and present begin to collide, the estranged friends are forced to confront their own complicity in the events that led to Kala's disappearance. Against the backdrop of a town suffocating on its own secrets, in a story that builds from a smolder to a stunning climax, Kala brilliantly examines the sometimes brutal costs of belonging, as well as the battle in the human heart between vengeance and forgiveness, despair and redemption., A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR NPR, THE GUARDIAN , THE INDEPENDENT , THE TABLET, AND CRIMEREADS * "An enthralling, evocative and heartfelt mystery" (Chris Whitaker) from a rising Irish talent in which former friends, estranged for twenty years, reckon with the terrifying events of the summer that changed their lives.
