A powerful novel of intense love, faith, and violence, inspired by real events which shook Ireland.
When engineer Anton Quigley arrives in a small southern shipyard to build an offshore gas rig, he falls for teacher Helen Peavoy, a woman of courage in a society ruled by Church and convention. But Helen chooses charismatic publican Ned Rocket, a married Sinn Féin member, and soon faces scandal, courtrooms, and the loss of her livelihood when she becomes pregnant.
As tensions rise and ruthless nationalists seek to extort the gas project, a shocking murder tears the town apart. Grief, suspicion, and divided loyalties threaten to destroy Helen's fragile happiness.
Rich in detail and emotional truth, this unforgettable story explores flawed, deeply human characters navigating love and conscience in dangerous times, proving that sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go.
A profoundly gripping, emotionally engaging novel that lingers long after reading. Highly recommended, The International Review of Books.
