Carol is a divorced teacher living in a small town in Ireland, her only son now grown. A second chance at love brings her unexpected connection and belonging. The new relationship sparks local speculation: what does a woman like her see in a man like that? What happened to his wife who abandoned them all those years ago? But the gossip only serves to bring the couple closer.

Graham Norton's masterful debut is an intelligently crafted story of love, secrets and loss. The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, and yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste.

Frankie has lived a long life and her small London flat is crammed full of art, furniture and memories. Damian, her young Irish carer, listens as she gradually tells him parts of her story - a story that takes us into a progressive, daring world of New York artists on the brink of fame, aspiring writers and larger-than-life characters.

Und nach dem Prozess wird Connor nach England geschickt. Niemand weiß, dass er noch vor etwas ganz anderem flieht.

Duneen liegt wirklich am Arsch der Welt, ganz, ganz unten im Süden Irlands. Große Dramen finden in dem kleinen Ort nicht statt, und trotzdem könnten viele Leute hier ein bisschen glücklicher sein. Sergeant PJ Collins war nicht immer so dick. Brid Riordan hat früher nicht so viel getrunken. Und auch Evelyn Ross glaubte einmal, ihr Leben könnte einen Sinn haben. Dann bricht der Tag an, als auf dem Grund der BurkeFarm Knochen gefunden werden. Menschliche Knochen. Und es ist vorbei mit der Ruhe.

Carol, eine geschiedene Lehrerin, hätte nie gedacht, dass sie sich nochmal verliebt. Bis sie Declan begegnet. Für beide ist es die große Liebe, nach wenigen Monaten zieht sie zu ihm in sein Haus.

Doch das schweißt die beiden nur noch mehr zusammen. Dann wird Declan dement. Die Krankheit verschlechtert sich rapide, er kommt in ein Pflegeheim. Sally und Kilian beschließen, das Haus zum Verkauf anzubieten, das ihm so wichtig war und für Carol zum Zuhause geworden ist.

Es könnte so schön und friedlich hier sein, wäre da nicht ihre sauertöpfische Schwester Margaret, die vor drei Jahren zu Besuch kam und seitdem keine Anstalten macht, wieder zu gehen. Vom Garten aus hat man einen herrlichen Blick aufs Meer. Eines Tages, als Helen auf der Terrasse liegt, sieht sie einen rothaarigen Mann ins Wasser gehen.

The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation. Her mother, Patricia, had been assumed a spinster until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave.

It is 1987, and a small Irish community is preparing for the wedding of two of its young inhabitants. They're barely adults, not so long out of school and still part of the same set of friends they've grown up with. As the friends head home from the beach that last night before the wedding, there is a car accident. Three survive the crash, but three are killed. And the reverberations are felt throughout the small town.

Helen is a retired teacher living on the Irish coast. She enjoys the peace and quiet—despite the burden of Margaret, her unpleasant sister.

She doesn't quite know what it is, but something about it feels very strange.

It is 1987, and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the ceremony, a group of young friends, including the bride and groom, are involved in an accident. Three survive. Three are killed. The lives of the families are shattered and the rifts between them ripple throughout the small town. Connor survived, but living among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as carrying the shame of having been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows for another life, taking his secrets with him.

Always on the periphery, looking on, young Frankie Howe was never quite sure enough of herself to take center stage—after all, life had already judged her harshly.

A memory is sparked, and the past crackles into life as Damian listens to the story Frankie has kept stored away all these years.
