About this ebook

Des de fa vint-i-cinc anys, una vegada al mes, la Caitlin i en Michael s'escapen dels matrimonis respectius i les obligacions domèstiques per trobar-se a Coney Island i passar el dia junts. Són unes hores precioses, secretes, plenes de complicitat i de carícies, de records compartits, de sexe i de conversa, que tots dos atresoren i no canviarien per res del món. Però avui, en plena tempesta de vent i de neu i en aquest centre turístic fora de temporada, sembla que s'hagi d'acabar el món i, amb ell, aquests anys viscuts tan intensament i tan d'amagat. Billy O'Callaghan és un narrador magistral i delicat, en la línia de Colm Toíbín i William Trevor, i Els amants de Coney Island és un retrat intens de l'amor i la intimitat, un drama exquisit i devastador que irradia bellesa, desig i malenconia.

 
"Els amants de Coney Island és una novel·la alhora subtil i directa, càlida i lúcida, escrita amb un estil extraordinari. Billy O'Callaghan té una capacitat commovedora per expressar les esperances i les pors de la gent "normal", i coneix íntimament com funciona el món. Es mereix tot el reconeixement internacional. O'Callaghan és un dels grans",
John Banville

"Celebrem l'arribada d'una nova veu al panteó de l'escriptura irlandesa contemporània",
Edna O´Brien


"O'Callaghan ha obtingut una fita admirable en aquesta gran novel·la. Els bons lilbres ens recorden altres bons lilbres, i en el seu tractament de l'adulteri aquest recorda clàssics com Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina i The Scarlet Letter,
