LIZ NUGENT - Little Cruelties
All three of the Drumm brothers were at the funeral.
Only one of us was in the coffin.
William, Brian, and Luke: three boys bound by
blood but split by fate, trained from birth by their wily
mother to compete for her attention. They play games, as
brothers do...yet even after the Drumms escape into the
world beyond their windows, those games—those little
cruelties—grow more sinister, more merciless, more
dangerous. And with their lives entwined like the strands
of a noose, only two of the brothers will survive.
Crisply written and quickly paced, perfect for readers of both sophisticated literary fiction and breathtaking suspense, Little Cruelties gazes unflinchingly into the darkness: the darkness collecting in the corners of childhood homes, hiding beneath marriage beds, clasped in the palms of two brothers shaking hands. And it confirms Liz Nugent, whose novels have been celebrated as “captivating” (People) and “highly entertaining” (The Washington Post), as one of the most exciting, perceptive voices in contemporary fiction.
Liz was born in Dublin in 1967.
Liz first began to write for broadcast in 2003. Between
2003 and 2013, she worked as a Story
Associate on the popular television soap opera Fair City.
She had several pieces accepted for Sunday Miscellany, a
radio series on RTE Radio 1 specialising in nostalgic
autobiographical writing.
Subsequently, she had two children’s stories accepted by the Fiction 15 series for the same broadcaster.
In 2006, her first short story for adults, Alice, was shortlisted for the Francis McManus Short Story Prize.
Liz went on to write a children’s animation series called The Resistors for TG4. Her half-hour drama, The Appointment was one of four winners chosen to be broadcast live on TG4 in the Seomra Sé series.
Liz’s radio drama, Appearances, represented Ireland at the New York Festivals in 2008.
She was the winner of an EATC bursary and writing workshops in Geneva and Berlin for pilot episode of drama series Campus in 2007.
Liz’s first novel Unravelling Oliver was published to critical and popular acclaim in Ireland in March 2014. It quickly became a firm favourite with book clubs and reader’s groups. In November of that year, it went on to win the Crime Novel of the Year at the Irish Book Awards and was long listed for the International Dublin Literature Prize 2016. She was also the winner of the inaugural Jack Harte Bursary provided by the Irish Writers Centre and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Dec 2014.
Her second novel, Lying in Wait, was released in July 2016. It went straight to number 1 in the Irish Bestseller lists, remaining there for nine weeks and spent eight months in the top ten.
In September 2016, liz was awarded the Ireland Funds Monaco bursary and went to Monaco for a month to write in the Princess Grace Irish library.
In November 2016, Lying in Wait won the RTE Ryan Tubridy Show Listener’s Choice Award at the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book Awards. The book was also shortlisted in the Crime Fiction category. It has been long listed for the Dublin International Literary Award 2018.
Lying in Wait was chosen as part of the Spring 2017 list for the very prestigious Richard & Judy Book Club in the UK. In April 2017, Lying in Wait was the winner of the Reader’s Choice Award of the Richard & Judy Spring List.
Liz is absolutely thrilled that Scout Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster USA published Unraveling Oliver in 2017 while Lying in Wait was published in 2018. She is very pleased to be in the editorial hands of Jackie Cantor in New York and Nita Pronovost in Toronto. Unraveling Oliver was chosen for the BEA Book Buzz panel at Book Expo in June 2017 and Lying in Wait topped the Canadian charts in January 2019.
Liz was honoured to win the Irish Tatler Woman of the Year award in Literature in October 2017.
Her third novel, Skin Deep was published by Penguin books in the UK and Ireland in Spring 2018. In November that year, it won two awards: Crime Novel of the Year, and RTE Radio Listener’s Choice Award at the Irish Book Awards. It subsequently won a Dead Good Award for The Book You Can’t Put Down at Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival at Harrogate, Yorkshire in July 2019.
In March 2020, just as the country went into lockdown after the pandemic of Covid 19 hit Ireland, Our Little Cruelties was published in Ireland. Nevertheless, it retained the number one spot for 12 out of the next sixteen weeks.
It will be published in the UK in paperback in January 2021, and in the USA and Canada under the title ‘LITTLE CRUELTIES’ in November 2020.
Aside from writing, Liz has led workshops in writing drama for broadcast in Ireland and New Zealand, she has produced and managed literary salons, interviewed many other writers and curated the literary strand of Skibbereen Arts Festival in July 2016.
Eleanor Shanley and John Feeley’s
creative collaboration results in the release of the
stunning new album Cancion de Amor this December.
Recorded in the beautiful Meelick Friary nestled next to the River Shannon in Eyrecourt, Co. Galway, Cancion de Amor, the album by Eleanor Shanley and John Feeley is scheduled for release in early December.
The thirteen-track long play features so many beautiful songs including the Brendan Graham original, Cancion de Amor, which also gives the album its title. This song was gifted to Eleanor and John and they are privileged to be the first to release it. Eleanor remembers “We both fell in love with Cancion de Amor on our first listen and were thrilled when Brendan gave it to us for the record. John is our country’s finest classical guitarist and we both believe Cancion de Amor is perfect and indeed enhances our creative partnership on this record.”
Peadar Townsend's Inspiration for Irish Folk Stories Live!
As a child growing up my Father used to
fascinate me with all manner of Irish Folk Stories at
bedtime or in the car on a long journey. Not from a book,
but from his head and every time he told them they were
different, full of exciting characters with lashings of
wonder, magic and mystery. The idea of marrying these
wonderful stories with exciting, descriptive music struck
me as an amazing project to bring them to new heights and
re-ignite their proud place in Irish culture around the
world.
Irish born Peadar Townsend lives an exceptionally diverse and exciting musical career. A professional composer, percussionist, and educator he has worked in almost every conceivable branch of professional music. As a Percussion player he has 25 years· experience ranging from Orchestra to Opera, West End shows to film and T.V. soundtrack recording and has toured the world extensively.
His compositions and arrangements have been recorded and performed around the world and his uniquely descriptive style of composition is both easy to listen to and imaginative. Using his performing experiences Peadar uses a keen sense of instrument colours to match the picture he is painting in music. His enormous variety of musical experiences give him the perfect knowledge for this most exciting and unique project. He describes himself as ·a storyteller with music·.
