*THE #3 IRISH BESTSELLER*'Momentous and epic' BERNARD MACLAVERTY'Superb and moving' JOHN BANVILLE'A lovely, piercing book' SEBASTIAN BARRYThree generations. At sixteen Nancy, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine, leaves her small island for the mainland. More than a century of famine, war, violence and love.
In 1920, Nancy's son Jer has lived through battles of his own as a soldier in the Great War. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her life. Now drunk in a jail cell, he struggles to piece together where he has come from, and who he wants to be.
And in the early 1980s, Jer's youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her life in a council house, moments away from her childhood home; remembering the night when she and her family stole back something that was rightfully theirs, she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her.'Brilliantly immerses us in its respective time periods' SUNDAY TIMES
