A deceptively simple yet acute study of a family with a dark secret at its heart, from one of Ireland's best-loved writers

'A quietly incisive book that opens wounds where none were known' Irish Independent

Sally, a successful actress, returns to her house in Goatstown from a European tour, just wanting to rest and to see her husband, Charlie, again.

When Charlie announces that he's leaving her, Sally angrily forces him to pack his bags at once. But maybe, she wonders later, she really is too hard to live with? Hoping for some glimmer of insight into the family secrets that have always dogged her, Sally turns to her grandfather, the frosty old Bishop she has never really known.

'This is a carefully crafted story... the structure is masterly, and the writing pungent' Penelope Lively, The Sunday Times
