Restless Souls
Restless Souls | Dan Sheehan
1 post | 5 read
After three years embedded in the Siege in Sarajevo, Tom returns to Dublin a haunted shell of his former self. His childhood friends Karl and Mal know they're comically unqualified to help him but are determined to see him through the darkness. So they embark on a journey for an unlikely cure, to an experimental Californian PTSD clinic called Restless Souls. But as they try to save Tom from his memories, they must confront their own - of what happened to Gabriel, their fourth childhood friend. And in doing so ask they must ask why their raucously funny teenage souls got stuck in adult prisons - and why life got so damn complicated and sad.

Restless Souls | Dan Sheehan
Mehso-so

Dan Sheehan‘s debut literary novel is an uneasy mix of road trip adventure, Irish comedy and war diary that features some strong and at times hilarious dialogue and some moving individual scenes on male friendship but Tom‘s reasons for going to Sarajevo are thin and the suicide little more than a plot point while it‘s unfortunate that the female characters are literally girlfriends and mothers.
