FROM THE TWICE-WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Heartbreaking.' Observer 'Brilliant.' The Times Jack McNulty, a former UN observer, has worked around the world and seen extraordinary things, but as he contemplates his return to Ireland after many years in Ghana, his memories are dominated by his tumultuous marriage to Mai Kirwan. A great beauty with a vivid mind, Mai was also an elusive and troubled soul, stuck in a marriage that could never last.
