'It is a tale of excess, glamour and awe – completely at odds with the staid life of Twenties Ireland – which Brigit encountered in the hedonistic Paris of the ’20s and the dark, repressive Berlin of the ’30s.' -Sunday Business Post 'It is refreshing to see a modern novelist willing to engage with great European themes.' - Books Ireland Brigit Egan lies dying in a Dublin nursing home. In her nineties, wracked by pain and baffled by morphine, she begins to recount her life. It is a life that her daughters, convinced that she has slipped into senility, do not recognise. It is one featuring Picasso and Paris, Burlesque and Berlin, from Hemingway and Fitzgerald to circuses and shame... A stylishly evocative new novel, Marian O Neill s All Gods Dead is a stunning exploration of life, of guilt and of hope. Capturing the verve and panache of its many characters and locales, from London to Paris and Berlin, it brings to life the swinging 1920s a creative Europe of artists and writers who were doomed to watch their way of life crumble in the subsequent fall into the darkness of the 1930s. Beauty and tragedy against a bohemian backdrop, All Gods Dead brings a long-forgotten world to life.
