'A gorgeously wrought and moving read' Irish Times

Kate has been trying to do things right. To mark an important anniversary, she plans an exquisite dinner for her family. Yet by the end of the night, the drinking games have ended in awkward silence, the guests have fled, and Kate feels herself spinning out of control.

Told across the decades, this is the story of a family shattered by grief, but tied by bonds too knotty to untangle. It's the story of what happens when the past catches up with the present, and of why, despite everything, we can't help returning home.

'A natural writer' Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The Wren

'Finely observed' Guardian

'Gilmartin writes beautifully' Sunday Times Culture

'Taut, compelling, Enright-esque' Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss

'Exquisitely captured' Daily Mail
