About this listen

The new novel from best-selling author Graham Norton

In his tense and darkly comic new novel, Norton casts a light on the relationship between mothers and daughters, and truth and self-preservation with unnerving effect.

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.

When Declan becomes ill, things start to fall apart. His children are untrusting and cruel, and Carol is forced to leave their beloved home with its worn oak floors and elegant features and move back in with her parents.

Carol's mother is determined to get to the bottom of things; she won't see her daughter suffer in this way. It seems there are secrets in Declan's past, strange rumours that were never confronted, and suddenly the house they shared takes on a more sinister significance.

Irish yarn

I love the Irish sense of self deprivation and humour.
Love the Irishness in this and all of Graham books. As an Australian / Irish women
it's very familiar to me.
A yarn and bloody good one

Brilliant all round

Loved the story. Great narration by the author which keeps it interesting. Lots of characters intertwined and given equal attention. Really enjoyed the mystery and navigation through some of life’s most challenging moments.

very enjoyable

The middle section was a bit heavy going because it just felt wrong and unlikely?! But overall, Graham's story and the way he presents it is charming and witty and you just have to suspend disbelief and let it take you along for the ride.
