Author: Graham Norton'Graham is a lovely writer and this is by far his best. The passage of time is beautifully handled, and the emergence of Ireland into the modern world is a joy to read...
There's a lovely kindness and a fundamental goodness at the heart of this book. A great read!' RUSSELL T. DAVIES
Compelling new novel of stigma and secrecy from Sunday Times best seller.
It is 1987, and a small Irish community is preparing for the wedding of two of its young inhabitants.
They're barely adults, not so long out of school and still part of the same set of friends they've grown up with. As the friends head home from the beach that last night before the wedding, there is a car accident.
Three survive the crash, but three are killed. And the reverberations are felt throughout the small town.
Connor, the young driver of the car, lives. But staying among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as living with the shame and so he leaves the only place he knows for another life.
Travelling first to Liverpool, then London, by the noughties he has made a home - of sorts - for himself in New York.
The city provides shelter and possibility for the displaced, somewhere Connor can forget his past and forge a new life.
But the secrets, the unspoken longings and regrets that have come to haunt those left behind will not be silenced. And before long, Connor will have to meet his past.
