Description
In 1987, a tragedy strikes a small Irish community, shattering the lives of those involved. The accident leaves three friends dead and three survivors, including the bride and groom, who are left to pick up the pieces. Connor, the driver, is consumed by shame and guilt, and feels the weight of his secret all the more deeply. He leaves his home and embarks on a journey to a new life in New York, but the secrets he's taken with him will not be silenced. As the years pass, Connor tries to build a new life, but the past continues to haunt him. The unspoken longings and regrets of those left behind will not be buried forever. Before long, Connor will have to confront the consequences of his actions. This powerful and timely novel explores the devastating effects of stigma and secrecy on ordinary lives. Graham Norton's nuanced and emotionally precise writing brings this story to life, shedding light on the complexities of human relationships and the enduring power of the past to shape our present.
