Description
Four brilliant, orphaned Irish sisters, each with advanced degrees and disparate lives, are forced to confront their fractured relationships and a rapidly foundering world when their oldest sibling abruptly vanishes. As they search for her in the remote Irish countryside, they delve into their shared past, unearthing old wounds and grappling with a deeply uncertain future. This novel is a profound exploration of sisterhood, the search for meaning in a chaotic era, and the enduring power of family against the backdrop of global anxieties. Told with gorgeous prose and sharp intelligence, it offers a portrait of a family teetering on the edge of profound change.
