| Garrett Carr’s debut adult novel is big-hearted and welcoming, opening with a collective voice that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the novel. |
| We were a hardy people, raised facing the Atlantic. A few thousand men, women and children, clinging to the coast and trying to stay dry. Our town wasn’t just a town, it was a logic and a fate. |
| The story is told through the “we” of the fishing town of Killybegs in Donegal, and it works brilliantly, filled with lovely, unforced colloquialisms that feel completely true to the place and the people. |
