THE TIMES

It is 1987 and a small Irish community is shattered by a terrible accident. Young Connor is one of the survivors, but staying among the angry and the mourning is more than he can bear. He leaves the only place he knows, taking his secrets with him.

Travelling first to Liverpool, then London, he eventually makes a home for himself in New York. The city provides shelter and possibility, somewhere Connor can forget his past and start a new life. But the longings and regrets that have come to haunt those left behind will not be silenced. And before long, Connor will have to confront his past.

'A subtle portrait of small-town Ireland... a kind, wise, perceptive novel'

'The kind of warmth and magical storytelling that puts me in mind of the late, great Maeve Binchy... a writer of real strength and talent'
