'Subtle, understated, not without a hint of menace and always
courageous ... An important book' Irish Times 'Marvellously
compelling ... Park takes that most difficult of subjects - recent
history - and with graceful integrity explores the difficulties
involved in coming to terms with the legacies of the past ...
beautifully described in Park's crystalline prose' Daily Mail It is
December in Belfast, Christmas is approaching and three sets of
people are about to make their way to Amsterdam. Alan, a university
art teacher, goes on a pilgrimage to the city of his youth with
troubled teenage son Jack; middle-aged couple Marion and Richard
take a break from running their garden centre to celebrate Marion's
birthday; and Karen, a single mother struggling to make ends meet,
joins her daughter's hen party. As these people brush against each
other in the squares, museums and parks of Amsterdam, their lives
are transfigured as they encounter the complexities of love in a
city that challenges what has gone before.
