What We Say: Kala is a captivating mystery woven together like a spiderweb, with each thread attached to a character who will feel intimately familiar to you. Colin Walsh's novel is socially aware, tackling pertinent themes ranging from systematic corruption to underage motherhood. Against the backdrop of Ireland, it presents a painfully realistic portrayal of small-town communities.

What They Say: "A sizzling debut of nostalgia and secrets... With the strong group dynamic and the lingering promise of bloodshed, comparisons to Donna Tartt's The Secret History are justified. Kala is both a genuine page-turner and a profound meditation on memory and how it shapes our lives - how our past selves forever haunt the people we become" - Ruth Gilligan
