Description
1963: At the stark, isolated modernist mansion of controversial political philosopher Richard Acklehurst, the glittering annual New Year’s Eve party does not go as planned. Considered a genius by some and something far darker by others, Acklehurst is dead by the end of the evening in mysterious circumstances, casting a long shadow over the lives of his teenage daughters, Aisling and Stella. 1999: Richard Acklehurst’s remains are defiled in the country graveyard where they have lain undisturbed for more than thirty years, forcing his daughters to return to their childhood home and finally confront the complex, dark dynamic at the heart of their family. Moving from the west of Ireland to Dublin, London, Florence and back again, this atmospheric novel follows two sisters and their secrets, love, regret and vengeance.
