Overview

A THE TIMES HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK OF THE YEARLONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 2023"MY NAME IS YIP TOLROY & I am a mute.I have made not a sound since the day of my birth, October 2nd, 1815.I will say that my life has been something of a trial but such is God's wish & so I must tell my story here on the page."Yip Tolroy and his fiery Mama run the general store in Heron's Creek, Georgia.An uneventful life, until gold is discovered nearby and Yip is caught up in a bloody, grievous crime forcing him to flee.On the run, friendless and alone, he meets Dud Carter a savvy but unlikely companion.Together, they embark on a journey that thrusts them unwittingly into a world of menace and violence, of lust and revenge. And, as Yip and Dud's odyssey takes them further into the unknown - via travelling shows, escaped slaves and the greed of gold-hungry men - the pull of home only gets stronger.But what will they find there if they ever return?'This is violent, anarchic American history with echoes of Sebastian Barry's Days Without End, but Paddy Crewe's take is startlingly original...Yip's tale is immersive and beautiful in unexpected places.On the strength of this sensational debut, you will be hearing a lot more about Paddy Crewe.' Antonia Senior, The Times Historical Fiction Book of the Month
