**Winner of the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award** **Shortlisted for the HWA Gold Crown Award** **The instant Irish Times Top Ten bestseller** A heartbreaking and life-affirming novel about small towns and second chances - from the international bestselling author of Four Letters of Love ‘I am utterly obsessed with Niall Williams’ Ann Patchett ‘A rich and gorgeous book’ The Times, The 10 best historical fiction books of 2024 ‘Irresistible … A powerful pleasure’ Karen Joy Fowler ‘Deeply compassionate’ Guardian ‘Slow, rich, immaculate ...

A visit from the doctor is always a sign of bad things to come. His youngest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father’s shadow, and remains there, having missed her chance at real love – and passed up an offer of marriage from an unsuitable man. But in the advent season of 1962, as the town readies itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy’s lives are turned upside down when a baby is left in their care. As the winter passes, father and daughter’s lives, the understanding of their family, and their role in their community are changed forever. 'My own life feels richer having read it' Mary Beth Keane 'A triumph ... There is so much to admire: the lyrical language, how landscape and destiny intertwine, the complex bonds of community' Ron Rash
