Description
In the stark beauty of rural Ireland, a family grapples with the encroaching shadow of illness and the complex bonds that tie them together. As Helen returns home to care for her dying brother, she finds herself caught between the quiet strength of her grandmother and the unspoken grief of her mother. This poignant novel explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory against the backdrop of a changing world. Through lyrical prose, the narrative delves into the unspoken emotions and hidden histories that shape our lives.
