'There's a trick to time. You can make it expand or you can make it
contract. Make it shorter or make it longer . . .' Some moments you
want to last forever. Some moments shape a life. For Mona, it's the
joy of playing on a Wexford beach as a young girl, next to her
family's cottage overlooking the Irish sea. The thrill of moving to
Birmingham with a new job and a room of her own in a busy
boarding-house. Meeting the love of her life; a whirlwind marriage;
a sudden, tragic loss. But now, decades later, Mona is determined
to find happiness before it's too late. She knows that every moment
is precious. But can we ever let go of the past that shaped us?

poetry and sorrow of life itself' Financial Times 'Weaving tragedy
and joy, big themes and the minutiae of life, this is a love story
to take on the classics' Emerald Street 'An emotionally sure-handed
novel exploring harrowing terrain with deft sensitivity' Sunday
