Description
A Second Life by Dermot Bolger In a shocking turn of events, Dublin photographer Sean Blake is clinically dead for several seconds before being given a second chance at life. Haunted by the face he only partially recognises, Sean struggles to come to terms with his newfound existence. As he tries to rebuild his life, Sean becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the truth about his past. He discovers that he was taken from his birth mother as a baby and has been given a second chance at life - but at what cost? With a complex sense of guilt and official silence surrounding his origins, Sean embarks on an absorbing journey to find his birth mother. This reimagined text offers a fresh perspective on the scandalous Magdalene laundries, first addressed in Bolger's 1994 novel. A deeply moving conclusion awaits those who follow Sean on this journey of self-discovery and redemption.
