The Gospel of Orla

by Eoghan Walls

Seven Stories Press/PRH

    This is the strangest book I've read in a long time. It's also absolutely wonderful.  Fourteen year old Orla's voice is unique and compelling - her grief so real and her hope so strong that you can't help wishing for a miracle. There's also Jesus and an elephant named Fantasmo who are important characters in Orla's world.
