    [synopsis] => A classic novel of family, isolation and a blighted Ireland from the award—winning author of “The Sea” depicts the end of innocence for a boy and his country.

Once the big house on an Irish estate, Birchwood has turned into a dilapidated family manor filled with memories and despair. One disaster succeeds another, until young Gabriel Godkin runs away to join a traveling circus and look for his long-lost twin sister. Soon he discovers that famine and unrest stalk the countryside, and Ireland is ruined too.

Told with lyrical prose, John Banville's “Birchwood” is the elegiac story of the aristocratic decline of an eccentric family riddled with dark secrets.
