Synopsis

A delicate and poignant love story set in London and an Irish seaside town.It is the 1960s and trainloads of holiday-makers spill out into the rain-washed sunshine of Portnew. When Michael and his sister Catherine are not sprawled on the railway embankment watching the tourists making for the amusement arcades and ice-cream parlours, they are running through the narrow streets or playing watchfully in the dark corners of their father's workshop. To them it seems that these carefree childhood days will never end. But as the decade draws to a close, violence spreads from the cities to tear Portnew apart, and when tragedy strikes at the heart of their family the innocence of their life together is shattered.'It's abundantly clear that this boy can write. There's a grace andunderstated simplicity to his prose that is, at times, reminiscent of John McGahern or William Trevor' Observer on A Crooked Field
