āCompassionate, lyrical and full of devilmentā - Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses
āA joy . . . Vivid, loving and genuinely funnyā The Sunday Times
āI didnāt want it to ever endā Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
In 1973 on the west coast of Ireland, a baby is found abandoned on the beach. Who is he? Where is he from?
Ambrose, a local fisherman, is far more interested in who he will become and ā with a curious community looking on ā takes the baby home and adopts him. But for Declan, Ambrose's young son, this arrival is surely bad news. Rivalries can be decades in the making, and families are easy to break . . .
