Summary

From an exciting new voice in Irish fiction, a powerful novel set on an Irish clifftop—a story about duty, despair and the chance encounters upon which fate turns.

Micheál Burns lives alone in his family's bungalow at the end of Kerry Head in Ireland. It is a picturesque place, but the cliffs have a darker side to them: for generations they have been a suicide black spot. Micheál's mother saw the saving of these lost souls—these visitors—as her spiritual duty, and now, in the wreckage of his life, Micheál finds himself continuing her work. When his sisters tell him that they want to sell the land, he must choose between his siblings and the visitors, a future or a past.

Good interesting narrative, short snappy chapters.

Really good description of life in Kerry Head, Ballyheigue, Tralee.
The narrative, hopping backwards and forwards, was at times confusing, but overall manageable.
A relaxing read (or listen).
