Gretta Riordan wakes on a stultifying July morning to find that her husband of forty years has gone to get the paper and vanished, cleaning out his bank account along the way. Grettaâs three grown children converge on their parentsâ home for the first time in years: Michael Francis, a history teacher whose marriage is failing; Monica, with two stepdaughters who despise her and a blighted past that has driven away the younger sister she once adored; and Aoife, the youngest, now living in Manhattan, a smart, immensely resourceful young woman who has arranged her entire life to conceal a devastating secret.
Maggie OâFarrell writes with exceptional grace and sensitivity about marriage, about the mysteries that inhere within families, and the fault lines over which we build our livesâthe secrets we hide from the people who know and love us best. In a novel that stretches from the heart of London to New York Cityâs Upper West Side to a remote village on the coast of Ireland, OâFarrell paints a bracing portrait of a family falling apart and coming together with hard-won, life-changing truths about who they really are.Â
