THE IMMERSIVE AND HEARTFELT EXPLORATION OF FAMILY AND LOVE 'A
beautiful bittersweet story of love, loss and families. Tears were
shed!' GRAHAM NORTON 'A moving and powerful novel' JOHN BOYNE
'Human, graceful and healing, a true gift of a novel' SEBASTIAN
BARRY 'A beautiful story' SARAH WINMAN 'Lyrical, optimistic and
redemptive' CLARE CHAMBERS 'Just loved it . . . so moving on
motherhood, depression, family ties and Ireland' ANNIE MACMANUS
__________ On an island off the west coast of Ireland, the Moone
family gathers. Maeve is an actor, struggling with her most
challenging role yet - as a mother to four children. Murtagh, her
devoted husband, is a potter whose craft brought them from the city
to this rural life. In the wake of one fateful night, the Moone
siblings must learn the story of who their parents truly are, and
what has happened since their first meeting, years before, outside
Trinity College in Dublin. We watch as one love story gives rise to
another, until we arrive at a future that none of the Moones could
have predicted. Except perhaps Maeve herself. The Truth Must Dazzle
Gradually is a celebration of the complex, flawed and stubbornly
optimistic human heart. __________ Longlisted for the Guardian's
'Not The Booker' prize PRAISE FOR THE TRUTH MUST DAZZLE GRADUALLY:
