Another masterpiece from Graham Norton. He creates such profound characters that, love them or hate them, you are totally invested in what happens to them. I couldn't put this one down. An inspiring story beautifully told.

Great characters, a great story, and very moving. Very well done Graham, you're a wonderful writer and I'll be reading your other novels ASAP.

Smart, sophisticated and very satisfying - this is a memorable read! When a car goes off the road in a small town in Cork, the reverberations have long lasting effects. With three dead, the community make it clear they have no place for young Connor, the driver, among them. So he is packed off to Liverpool, then London, he eventually makes half a life for himself in New York, but always wonders about those he left behind, whilst his family mourn the loss of a son and a brother. But things are never are clear-cut as the first appear, and there are secrets which have been buried - but for how long? In his latest novel, Graham Norton has really brought his writing talents to the fore and shows himself to be a skilled and talented author. Adroitly planned, the secrets are well hidden and revealed in a timely manner. This is such a compelling story, demanding the reader's full attention from the very first and entertaining all the way through. A tale of a changing Ireland, beautifully told and completely original; the kind of book I particularly love as I could finish reading with a sigh of total satisfaction. Such an inspiring and multi-layered novel demands no less than the full five sparkling stars which I'm delighted to give it, along with my highest recommendation to all those who love an absorbing story.
