Spanning a century and two continents – from the muddy fields of Ireland to a hotel room in Paris, a dingy bar in Segovia to an aeroplane bound for Taipei – these twelve carefully crafted stories follow an unforgettable cast of characters.

Three gunshots on the Irish border define the course of a young man’s life; a writer clings to a star-crossed affair with a woman who has never been fully within his reach; a fisherman accustomed to hard labour rolls up his sleeves to dig a grave for his child; a pair of newly-weds embark on their first adventure, living wild on the deserted Beginish Island.
