Maura and Patrick McGill loved each other — until a young women had to leave her stable Dublin home and be whisked away to the big city. Military images swirl in the mind: barrel of an MG truck through a leafy suburb, gay young IRA terrorists with guns strapped on their dress shoes striding down the ramp of Dublin Heuston railway station. The army had secured both against the vagaries of British rule (Patrick in his rank as captain) and against some lurking domestic picture of domestic violence (Patrick as bull in a China shop). Then, 22 months after her disappearance, all was revealed. Sarah's departure took with it the approximate shape of her murderer, to destroy Patrick and Maura the way they had destroyed her. To keep hope alive, there would have to be a Christmas, despite any resulting grief or guilt or fear... This story, darkly humorous, evokes the thrill of mystery and the urgency of love against a backdrop of brutality and corruption, didacticism and amorality. With a pacing that justifies its length, this is an extraordinary novel." --A.M. Homes, Financier -
