Beschreibung

A poignant journey through grief, poverty, and the redemptive power of art in 1970s Ireland.

In rural West Cork, Ireland, two young brothers, Joseph and Paul, navigate a life shadowed by loss and hardship alongside their struggling poet father, Fraser. A letter arrives, promising publication and a chance at escape, but Dublin is a world away from their impoverished existence.

This novel unfolds as an almost anti-roadtrip, revealing the flip sides of dreams and nightmares, generosity and neglect, all seen through the eyes of a brave, frightened child. It explores the paralyzing pain of grief, tempered by the hope of rescue and the enduring strength of parental love. Perfect for readers seeking lyrical prose, emotional depth, and a bittersweet portrayal of family resilience in historical Irish fiction.

A poignant journey through grief, poverty, and the redemptive power of art in 1970s Ireland.
