A gorgeous story. Set in modern Ireland and steeped in the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way, Sands tells a delicate tale of one woman struggling to find the truth about her past while battling her daily demons. From the rain and mist of the Galway coastline to the dangerous streets of London, this story is told with passionate and lyrical grace.
Sands does an excellent job at using nuance to delve into the denser themes of mental health and grief, and his lyrical prose consistently impresses. Tense and affecting, this is a worthy page-turner.
