About this listen

A family brought together by the person they said goodbye to long ago...

Meet the Tobin family...

Joy, the complicated, troubled mother.

She's spent her life running from her past while trying to raise her children as best she can.

Conor, the high-achieving eldest child.

A high-profile media figure and CEO, he's walking a fine line between self-promotion and self-detonation.

Frances, the 'perfect' middle child.

Now a wife and mother, she's about to make a mistake that could destroy her marriage.

Youngest daughter, Sinead, the acclaimed writer.

Wrestling with writer's block, she resorts to desperate measures to deliver her next bestselling book to her publishers.

When Joy's children receive the news that she has only days to live, they rush to her side, bringing with them all of the dysfunction and hurt they have been carrying since their childhoods. Each of them is at a crossroads in their lives - but there's one more secret about their mother they need to learn. Will they finally be able to forgive their mother and, in doing so, face their futures together?

Alcohol and Sadness

Having lived and loved an alcoholic, I was moved by the writers telling of the story of Joy, how I was taken back to the good and the bad times, even the smells and sounds that the family sense as soon as entering the house.
But then there are also many many joyous moments and memories that are the ones I try to remember most.
I listened on audio and loved the Irish accent once again.
Thank you Ann x
