William Barrow finds himself in lonely retirement in West Cork.
Once an internationally renowned pianist, a terrible skin disease
has attacked his hands and made it impossible for him to perform.
Tara is a piano teacher with barely enough pupils to pay the
month's rent. In the local café, the elegant writing of a job
advertisement catches her eye: 'WANTED. HOUSEKEEPER.' She begins to
work in William's house, keeping to herself the knowledge that they
have met three times before, encounters that have changed her life.
He is oblivious to this, while she spins tales of the well
discovered in his back garden and of a mythical saint, of the
healing powers of the water and the moss that surrounds it. But as
the moss begins to heal William's troubled hands, the lines between
legend and reality begin to blur, secrets resurface, and past and
present collide in unexpected ways. Gripping and lyrical, The Well
of St Nobody is a marvellous new novel by the author of The Past,
Night in Tunisia and Dream of a Beast.
