AN IRISH INDEPENDENT AND IRISH TIMES BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2025 'An original voice' Colm Toibin 'Duncan brings a new way of seeing' Irish Times 'A deliberative and delicate reading experience, revelatory in the truest sense of that word' Guardian During winter season in a secluded Alpine city, John Molloy, an Irish restorative sculptor, meets Bernadette, an enigmatic Italian sociologist. As John falls in love, a distressing moment from his youth rises into view, the disastrous fallout of which has reverberated unchecked through his life.
