In 1958, a mute boy locked away in a mental institution outside of Dublin forms an unlikely friendship with a man consumed by the story of the love he lost nearly two decades earlier. And in present-day London, an Irish journalist is forced to confront her conflicting notions of identity and family when her Jewish boyfriend asks her to make a true leap of faith. Spanning generations and braiding together three unforgettable voices, Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan shows us what it means to belong, and how storytelling can redeem us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilligan, Ruth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42537998745784,"sku":"9781782398592","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781782398592.jpg?v=1734712132","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781782398592","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
