Reviews

'Exquisitely plotted and sensitively written, Domhnall ably welcomes readers into a life fractured by tragedy. Always astute and emotionally intelligent, Connie is a character whom you won't be able to forget. Expect to run a range of emotions as the realities of maternal love and self-understanding are continually put to the test. I defy you not to finish this absorbing, intense novel without your heart in your mouth or a tear in your eye.' -- Aine Toner * Belfast Telegraph *
'A stunning page-turner that will grip you and leave you wondering 'what if?' The book highlights how everything can change in just one night - no matter how wonderful your life is.' -- Nicola Bardon * The Sun *
