About this listen
It’s 2008, and the Celtic Tiger has left devastation in its wake. Brothers Hart and Cormac Black are waking up to a very different Ireland – one that widens the chasm between them and brings their beloved father to his knees. Facing a devastating choice that will put their livelihoods – and even their lives – on the line, the brothers soon learn that the biggest danger comes when there is nothing to lose.
A sharp snapshot of a family and a nation suddenly unmoored, this epic-in-miniature explores cowardice and sacrifice, faith rewarded and abandoned, the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we resist. Hilarious, poignant and utterly fresh, The Wild Laughter cements Caoilinn Hughes’s position as one of Ireland’s most audacious, nuanced and insightful young writers.

The sadness of the whole situation.
Took a while to get into as it was a bit slow at first. However it was worth it in the end.

Brilliantly written!
From the first word, the author took me on a rollercoaster journey of human emotions through her insightful, beautiful language. I was hooked to the very end. The icing on the cake was the totally brilliant, believable, lilting narration. Highly recommend.
