About this title

Synopsis:

Thirty-six-year-old Jamie Mangan, an unsuccessful poet and sometime journalist, discovers that he may be descended from James Clarence Mangan, a drinkand drug-taking bohemian Irish poet of a century and a half ago, and sets out to investigate his ancestry

Review:

‘The Mangan Inheritance is a marvellous book. The storytelling is faultless and I have read no book recently that had in greater measure that quality for which no superior word need be sought by ‘unputdownability’... a superb product of the imagination.’
Paul Ableman, Spectator

‘A passionately detailed and evocative work... what’s exceptionally good is the way it sustains the powerful, simple idea of the quest inside the worrying, edgy details of a modern life.’
Hermione Lee, Observer

‘Brian Moore is a highly intelligent writer who has the enviable ability to make you want to go on turning the pages.’
A. N. Wilson, Evening Standard

‘Moore is one of the boldest and most inventive contemporary novelists.’
Literary Review
