| book description |

'A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.’ JOSEPH O'CONNOR ‘Beautiful, big-hearted, silly and profound' SÉAMAS O'REILLY ‘Rich, funny, moving and alive. The Commitments for a generation who grew up burning their own CDs off dodgy LimeWire MP3s.' RÓISÍN LANIGAN --- The Heathens thought of themselves as 'the 1000th best band of all time'. Then their tour van crashed, and one of their members died. Twenty years later, weird things are happening in Dublin, bringing the surviving members of the band together in ways none of them could have anticipated and lifting the lid on mysteries from their shared past. Experts in a Dying Field is a gloriously sharp, witty and surprising novel about friendship, secrets, the strange workings of grief and guilt, and the joyful alchemy of music, from a writer with a unique ability to access humour and deep emotion. --- Praise for Patrick Freyne 'Patrick Freyne is a comic genius' MARIAN KEYES 'A writer of rare humour, depth, and humanity' MARK O'CONNELL 'No one makes me laugh like Patrick Freyne' PAUL HOWARD 'A brilliant writer' BLINDBOY BOATCLUB 'Patrick Freyne has a distinct and enviable gift for story-telling' SINÉAD GLEESON 'One of the funniest writers in Ireland' IRISH EXAMINER
