Offbeat, ironic, humane and hilarious, Experts in a Dying Field is an earworm you’ll be humming along to for a long time to come.PAUL MURRAY
A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.’ JOSEPH OCONNOR
‘Just pure joy and pure heartbreak and GENUINE LAUGHS all the way through. I cried a few times too.’ MARINA HYDE

The Heathens thought of themselves as the 1000th best band of all time. Then their tour van crashed, and one of their members died.
Twenty years later, weird things are happening in Dublin, bringing the surviving members of the band together in ways none of them could have anticipated and lifting the lid on mysteries from their shared past.
Experts in a Dying Field is a gloriously sharp, witty and surprising novel about friendship, secrets, the strange workings of grief and guilt, and the joyful alchemy of music, from a writer with a unique ability to access humour and deep emotion.

Hums with life, told with the rigour and brilliance of one of Ireland’s finest minds. As profound as it is hilarious, Freyne’s voice is unmistakable: clever, tender, and original. Read it once, then read it again. Then go to the pub.’ ELAINE FEENEY
‘A paean to friendship, forgiveness and the power of music, told with the blend of empathy and wit that is Freynes trademark. I loved this book’ LOUISE KENNEDY
‘A brilliant book … very funny, in an understated Irish way, and the humour makes me miss home.’ ANNIE MAC
Kaleidoscopic ... Clever, warm and moving, it’s a remarkable book, thrumming with music and with love.DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA
‘Beautiful, big-hearted, silly and profoundSÉAMAS OREILLY
‘Rich, funny, moving and alive. The Commitments for a generation who grew up burning their own CDs off dodgy LimeWire MP3s.RÓISÍN LANIGAN
‘Poignant and beautifully observed. Patrick Freyne writes about his characters with humour, care and loving attention.’ RÓNÁN HESSION
‘Witty, boisterous and warm. Confirms Freyne as a writer who cares deeply about people.’ LISA MCINERNEY
‘A sharply funny and tender book. You can hear the music coming off every page. Wonderful.’ JULIA RAESIDE
Sizzles with hope, laughs and the tensions that come from knowing someone in their brighter, younger days and wishing, perhaps, that youve left them there. Nostalgic, darkly funny, and real – perfect for anyone trying to make sense of what it means to have history.JUSTIN MYERS
