Sinopse
A “truly extraordinary” (Bassey Ikpi) debut novel of modern Belfast that sings a tender hymn to messy love, quiet grief, and the hangovers in between.
Back home after abruptly leaving graduate school in London, Erin numbly teeters through the shock of losing her best friend to an accident she doesn’t want to talk about—especially with her mother. But it’s easy to slip into the rhythms of Belfast, the lazy city; she takes an au pair job and bookends her days with early morning runs along the Lagan and hazy afters at a bar her old friend tends. In quick succession, she meets an American man who is looking to get lost, and falls back in with the local boy who both comforts and confounds her. But it is her unlikely, secretive relationship with faith that offers a different kind of sanctuary. Wandering into empty churches, gazing with mascara-smudged eyes at the stained-glass windows, Erin finally, gingerly, confronts herself.
Resumo da Crítica
A skillful debut novel paints a nuanced picture of Belfast and a grieving young woman’s search for something to believe in... Connolly’s incisive debut novel conveys the quiet desperation of a generation facing economic instability and career uncertainty, compounded by the climate crisis.... Belfast-born, Connolly offers a nuanced portrait of her home city: 'a place which shows all its history, all its personality, all the time… it’s not just the recent history, the flags and religion and borders. It’s the mountains everywhere, too.' —Lucy Popescu, The Guardian
[A] perceptive debut… Connolly draws the reader along by making each well-honed scene reverberate with emotion. This thoughtful character portrait is worth a look. —Publishers Weekly
A pitch-perfect portrait of a 20-something whose life has been thrown off course, it is hard not to fall in love with the chaotic but charming Erin. As steeped in grief as it's soaked in booze, this vividly written debut is mordantly witty and profoundly moving. —Bookseller, Editor's Choice
