The ink is still wet, but the world is going dark.
Step into a hauntingly beautiful work of epistolary literary fiction that explores the jagged edges of contemporary Ireland and the devastating power of a family's unspoken truths. This is a story written in the margins of a fading life.
OisÃn Ó Broin is a man losing his sight and his grip on the past. Armed with a pen and a locked cedar chest, he is writing the letters he never had the courage to send to his deceased wife. But as advanced macular degeneration blurs the page, his race against total blindness becomes a race for his soul.
A daughter who is drowning in his care.
A son who fled across the sea ten years ago.
A secret about the day the family shattered that OisÃn has guarded like a wound.
The handwriting is dissolving into illegible scratches. The light is dying. If OisÃn can't find the words before the darkness takes his eyes, the truth will be buried forever, and his children will never know who their father truly was.
The Secret Correspondent is a visceral, emotional journey through the endurance of love and the finality of regret. It is a poetic and piercing literary novel that captures the desperate struggle for absolution. You will feel every scratch of the nib and every heartbeat of a father running out of time.
Open the cedar chest. Witness the confession. Read The Secret Correspondent today.
