The Magician is a novel that follows the life of a young farmer's son, who has been raised by his father to be a showman. The protagonist is called Liam, the magician; and it's the story of how he learns to perform in front of crowds, with the help of his father and an older woman he meets. Liam is well aware that he isn't quite normal - he has visions and feelings - but doesn't know how to control or understand them. He is also part Irish Traveller, which makes for some interesting scenes about identity as well as commentary on social issues like multi-culturalism.
