Strumpet City
One City One Book edition
James Plunkett
Experience the stark contrasts of Dublin in 1913 with this powerful and vivid novel. Centring on the seminal Lockout of 20,000 workers, Strumpet City portrays the complexities of humanity through characters like the destitute Rashers Tierney and the upper-class Yearling and Bradshaws. Chosen as Dublin City Libraries' One City, One Book for 2013 and repeatedly hailed as one of the greatest Irish novels of all time, this book offers a social and historical writing experience akin to Chekhov and Tolstoy.
