Beschreibung
Carmel has been alone all her life, and when she looks at her baby, they both understand the vastness of that loneliness. Her daughter Nell is funny, brave and much loved, and sets out into the world with a spirit of adventure, only to find that her family history is difficult to escape. When Nell leaves home, a space opens in Carmel's heart, and the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. Across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet whose beautiful words conceal brutal actions. This multigenerational novel explores love in its spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual and genetic forms, tracing the inheritance not only of trauma but also of wonder. Above all, it examines the love between mother and daughter: sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.
