About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
‘I said it before. Madness comes circling around. Ten-year cycles, as true as the sun will rise…’
Some things can send a heart spinning; others will crack it in two.
In a small town in rural Ireland, the local people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are looking towards the future. The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the marks of its history, new stories are unfolding.
But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch…
A stunning, lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace can be read independently, or as a companion to Donal Ryan’s multi-award-winning novel, The Spinning Heart, voted ‘The Irish Book of the Decade’.

Donal Ryan is a gifted painter of modern Ireland with a deep understanding of people, their desires, motivations and struggles.
What a treat to find that Donal Ryan has woven a beautiful and lyrical follow up to the stories of the vibrant community he crafted in The Spinning Heart. This book can be read as a stand alone story but I’d highly recommended both. Told in 21 voices, all perfectly cast, the audiobooks bring to life an orchestra of characters, each contributing to the story of the latest threat to their community in a cohesive and compelling way. Moving, memorable and authentic.

Best I've read in ages
Once I got over the confusion of each chapter being told from the perspective of another character , I was hooked. it really captured modern Ireland and people's struggles to understand where they fit in and how drugs is playing its part. The narrators we 100% perfect. it felt like inwas watching a series on one man shows in sequence and I think this would make a fantastic play.
Loved it 👏 well done Donal

Disappointed
Found it very hard to understand the story and the narrators voices boring - very disappointed in wasting a credit on it
