A moving, powerful collection of short stories from the award-winning author David Park, 'Gods and Angels' locates, with pinpoint accuracy, the quiet but deeply charged moments in life that can define a person. A 17-year-old boy visits his estranged mother on Boxing Day in a grey seaside town; a university lecturer falls in with a group of older men who inhabit a very different world while trying to learn how to swim; a detective breaks into his former home to spy on his estranged family; a couple reflect on 25 years of marriage under the Northern Lights; and an old man volunteering in a charity shop forms a tender bond with a young single mother. Bringing together deeply affecting stories exploring masculinity, loneliness, isolation and longing, this is a masterful collection from one of Ireland's finest writers.
