«Turlough» is the historical novel by Brian Keenan, published by Vintage in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Brian Keenan recreates the blind Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan in a novel narrated from his deathbed and through the memories of those who knew him. It evokes seventeenth-century Ireland, amid famines and oppression, and the life of a prodigy blinded by smallpox, an itinerant harpist torn between the desire for drink and women and great music.
Originally published in London by Jonathan Cape in 2000, this Vintage edition is from August 2001.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and contemporary fiction, especially those who appreciate fictionalised biographies of legendary musicians.
