Publisher's Synopsis
SHORTLISTED FOR NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR AT THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS
ONE OF THE OBSERVER'S SEVEN DEBUTS THAT WILL MAKE A SPLASH IN 2014
GHOST MOTH will transport you to two hot summers, 20 years apart.
Northern Ireland, 1949. Katherine must choose between George Bedford - solid, reliable, devoted George - and Tom McKinley, who makes her feel alive.
The reverberations of that summer - of the passions that were spilled, the lies that were told and the bargains that were made - still clamour to be heard in 1969. Northern Ireland has become a tinderbox but tragedy also lurks closer to home. As Katherine and George struggle to save their marriage and silence the ghosts of the past, their family and city stand on the brink of collapse...
Surprising, mesmerising and astonishingly written, GHOST MOTH will show you the extraordinary in the ordinary.
