In this luminous new novel about love, loss, and the unpredictable
power of memory, John Banville introduces us to Max Morden, a
middle-aged Irishman who has gone back to the seaside town where he
spent his summer holidays as a child to cope with the recent loss
of his wife. It is also a return to the place where he met the
Graces, the well-heeled family with whom he experienced the strange
suddenness of both love and death for the first time. What Max
comes to understand about the past, and about its indelible effects
on him, is at the center of this elegiac, gorgeously written novel
-- among the finest we have had from this masterful writer.
