But here, love is never far from violence, and this encounter will change both of their lives forever.Īs people get up each morning and go to work, school, church or the pub, the daily news rolls in of another car bomb exploded, another man beaten, killed or left for dead. There is nothing special about the day Cushla meets Michael, a married man from Belfast, in the pub owned by her family.
If Michael Agnew had not walked through the door of the pub on a quiet night in February in his white shirt. If Seamie McGeown had not found himself alone on a dark street. One by one, she undid each event, each decision, each choice. ‘A beautiful, devastating novel’ NICK HORNBY
