The Instant Irish Times Bestseller

Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year

Winner of Author of the Year at the Irish Book Awards

Claire O'Connor's life has been on hold since she broke up with Tom Morton and moved back home to the rugged West of Ireland to care for her dying father. She spends her days getting lost online, going to work and minding her own business.

But Claire is thrown back into a love she thought she'd left behind when Tom unexpectedly moves nearby, stirring up haunting memories trapped within the walls of the old family house. As the secrets of the past are revealed, Claire must confront whether she can escape her history to make a future for herself.
