Description
Constance Keating has lived a life of internal exile, alienated from her family and from Ireland. Now she has returned to her family home to face the end of her life. As she waits for this painful process to take place, Constance replays the fragments of her past, like a home movie. The festooned Christmas tree in her home holds a quiet significance, its presence a reminder that time is passing and that the final outcome may not be on her terms. Meanwhile, Constance's thoughts are with her child's father, who she hopes will come to say goodbye before it's too late. In this poignant novel, Jennifer Johnston explores themes of family, identity, and the complexities of human relationships.
