She had grown accustomed to the solitude that surrounded her, never knowing any different. But when her baby was born, she realized that her daughter knew the depths of her isolation. Their eyes met, and in that moment, all of time seemed to stand still. The baby understood just how vast Carmel's loneliness had been.This poignant exploration of daughterhood and motherhood is the masterpiece of a renowned Irish author, who has previously been awarded the prestigious Booker Prize.

Ultimately, it highlights the deep and complex bond between mother and daughter, which can be both fierce and painful but always transcendent.The beauty of this multigenerational novel lies not only in its exploration of love but also in its examination of the human condition. It reflects upon the false promises that shape our lives, as well as the true ones that offer solace and hope. This is a deeply moving meditation on the power of love, both as a force that can heal and as a burden that can suffocate.As one of the greatest living novelists, the author continues to captivate readers with her exquisite storytelling and profound insight into the human experience.
