Sunday Book of the Year Winner of the Bord Gais Novel of the Year
'Midwinter Break is a work of extraordinary emotional precision and
sympathy, about coming to terms - to an honest reckoning - with
love and the loss of love, with memory and pain...this is a novel
of great ambition by an artist at the height of his powers' Colm
Toibin A retired couple, Gerry and Stella Gilmore, fly to Amsterdam
for a midwinter break. A holiday to refresh the senses, to see the
sights and to generally take stock of what remains of their lives.
But amongst the wintry streets and icy canals we see their
relationship fracturing beneath the surface. And when memories
re-emerge of a troubled time in their native Ireland things begin
to fall apart. As their midwinter break comes to an end, we
understand how far apart they are - and can only watch as they
struggle to save themselves.
