Description

Tom Kettle, a retired policeman, has long sought to put the past behind him. His new life in Dalkey, overlooking the sea, offers a chance for solitude. However, two former colleagues arrive unexpectedly, seeking his help with a traumatic case from decades ago. As Tom struggles to come to terms with the past, his peaceful existence is further disrupted by a mysterious young mother who turns to him for assistance. The arrival of these two individuals forces Tom to confront the unresolved case and his own complicated history. As he navigates this difficult situation, he must also consider the needs of his new neighbour, who is struggling to find her place in the world. Sebastian Barry's latest novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of trauma, memory, and the complexities of human relationships.
