"Fully engaging, well-written, very imaginative . . . A wonderful
debut." -- Irish Times "When you read a novel cover to cover in one
day, you know it's something exceptional." -- John Boyne, author of
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Outside an east Belfast mission
hall, pastor and family man Samuel Orr meets Anna, a young Beckett
scholar. They embark on an intense, passionate affair, their
connection both intellectual and erotic. When Anna falls pregnant,
the affair is revealed. The repercussions are slow to emerge but
inescapable, and the fallout, when it finally comes, is shocking.
Over thirty years later Sam, their son, is in New York, living a
steady, guarded life, his childhood and family safely abandoned.
But when the past once more crashes into his life, he is forced to
confront the fears he has kept close all these years. "Brilliantly
written throughout . . . With tight, dispassionate, superbly
controlled prose, Harrison channels the spirit of Don DeLillo or
Camus." -- Irish Independent "Harrison's elegant prose and deeply
felt characters create a novel with a fiercely beating heart." --
Kirkus Reviews "Written with burning intensity . . . Powerful." --
Daily Mail
