Publisher's Synopsis
"Despite their determination to force their will upon the day and make it last longer than any Friday since the beginning of time, they found themselves in the afternoon going about looking for something to do and doing nothing in particular." Can we separate childhood guilt from adult responsibility? This is a story of growing up in a small town in 1950s Ireland, of contending friendships and conflicting loyalties, of the opaque nature of truth and family history. It is a story of inconvenient friendships, unexpected consequences and, ultimately, of the choices we make.
