LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018, SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2018
'An engrossing, unpredictable, beautifully crafted novel' Roddy Doyle
Farouk's country has been torn apart by war. Lampy's heart has been laid waste by Chloe. John's past torments him as he nears his end. The refugee. The dreamer. The penitent. From war-torn Syria to small-town Ireland, three men, scarred by all they have loved and lost, are searching for some version of home. Each is drawn towards a powerful reckoning, one that will bring them together in the most unexpected of ways.
