Description
Hardcover, 224 pages. A novel by Siofra O'Donovan that explores the complexities of human memory and identity through the interconnected lives of two brothers separated by war. The story follows two men, one imprisoned with his mother in Lvov during World War II, who eventually settles in Ireland, while the other takes refuge in Krakow, where he builds a new life. Years later, after the fall of communism, they are reunited when one brother receives a letter from the other, leading to a poignant exploration of how people create and imagine each other's lives. With concentrated and evocative prose, O'Donovan crafts a nuanced portrayal of memory, loss, and self-invention, introducing readers to her unique voice in Irish fiction.
