β¦ Synopsis
From a Man Booker Prizeβwinning author, a "hauntingly eloquent" novel of love, loss, family, and what a woman finds while in search of herself (The Seattle Times).
Born in Dublin in 1965, Maria Delahunty was raised by her grieving father after her mother died during childbirth. Two decades later, Maria is living in New York awash in longing and in love with the wrong man. Going through his things, she discovers a photograph of a little girl who looks an awful lot like herβbut isn't her. Soon Maria begins to unravel a long-buried secret more devastating than her father's mourning, but bursting with possibility . . .
