About this audiobook
From the author of Shadowplay, shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize, The Costa Novel Prize and Novel of the Year winner at the An Post Irish Book Awards.
Inishowen is a story of love found late, of hidden connections and a journey that changes three lives forever. There's Inspector Martin Aitken whose life is a mess. Divorced, his career's in chaos. There are terrible things growing inside his house and the last thing he needs is a collapsed woman in the street on Christmas Eve. There's Ellen Donelly, a woman on a mission, coming to Ireland to find her mother, and escape her husband. Milton Amery is her husband, an unfaithful New York plastic surgeon. All three of their roads lead to Inishowen - a mysterious place that holds secrets that can unlock the heart.
‘A vast page-turner, full of compassion, laughter and zest for the human condition, as well as a rattling good story.' — Irish Times
‘Ireland's greatest storyteller.' — The Sunday Independent
‘One of the best writers working today.' – Alice Walker
“A powerful, moving adventure of raw fate and betrayed love.” INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
“This is a tremendous book...affecting, intelligent, ironic, humane and utterly convincing. It is also extremely funny.” SPECTATOR
