By the Costa Award-winning author of PURE, a profound and tender
tale of guilt, a search for atonement and the hard, uncertain work
of loving. 'The writing is near perfect. But the novel's excellence
goes far beyond this . . . You read [it] . . . with your pulse
racing, all your senses awake' Guardian 'A beautiful, lambent,
timely novel' Sarah Hall An ex-soldier and recovering alcoholic
living quietly in Somerset, Stephen Rose has just begun to form a
bond with Maggie, the daughter he barely knows, when he receives a
summons - to an inquiry in Belfast about an incident during the
Troubles, which he hoped he had long outdistanced. Now, to testify
about it could wreck his fragile relationship with Maggie. And if
he loses her, he loses everything. He decides instead to write her
an account of his life - a confession, a defence, a love letter.
Also a means of buying time. But as time runs out, the day comes
when he must face again what happened in that distant summer of
1982.
