Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

The first thing Vanessa Carvin does when she arrives on the island is change her name. To the locals, she is Willow Hale, a solitary outsider escaping Dublin to live a hermetic existence in a small cottage, not a notorious woman on the run from her past.

But scandals follow like hunting dogs. And she has some questions of her own to answer. If her ex-husband is really the monster everyone says he is, then how complicit was she in his crimes?

Escaping her old life might seem like a good idea but the choices she has made throughout her marriage have consequences. Here, on the island, Vanessa must reflect on what she did - and did not do. Only then can she discover whether she is worthy of finding peace at all.

I loved this book from beginning to end. Beautifully written, great characters and a really credible storyline. I’ve loved all of John Boyne’s books.

To me this is classic literary fiction, a short novel tackling the all-consuming, life-ruining effects of close association with a bad, bad man. Lots to think about, especially three powerful segments of the book. The first book I have read by John Boyne, won't be the last. Narration excellent.

This was a beautifully written book tackling a really tragic and complex subject but I would really heartily recommend it. I also have to say that Niamh Cusack as narrator is simply exceptional- I cannot think of another book in which the narrator has done such justice to the story and the main character- bravo !

Superb
