Summary:
From Booker Award-winning bestselling author of "The Gathering" comes a darkly glinting novel set mainly in a small town on Ireland's Atlantic coast. The children of Rosaleen Madigan grow up in the West of Ireland, in a world that is about to change. In the years that follow, three of the children leave home for lives they could never have imagined. Dan for the frenzy of New York under the shadow of AIDS, Emmet for the backlands of Mali where he learns of fragility of love and order, actress Hanna for modern-day Dublin. Their difficult, wonderful mother Rosaleen decides to sell the family home, the house she was born in and where she raised her own family, with all its ghosts and memories. Her adult children visit for Christmas, carrying with them the complications of their present lives and the old needs of childhood.
