Description

Two aging Irish gangsters, Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, find themselves waiting at a ferry terminal in Algeciras, Spain, their night filled with reminiscences and anticipation. They are there to meet Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, a reunion fraught with the weight of their shared past and the lingering shadows of their criminal lives. Barry masterfully blends dark humor and poignant reflection, exploring themes of loyalty, regret, and the enduring, often complicated, bonds of family. This novel is a testament to Barry's distinctive voice, offering a deeply human portrait of men grappling with their histories.
