The first thing Vanessa Carvin does when she arrives on the island is change her name. To the locals, she is Willow Hale, a solitary outsider escaping Dublin to live a hermetic existence in a small cottage, not a notorious woman on the run from her past. But scandals follow like hunting dogs. And she has some questions of her own to answer. If her ex-husband is really the monster everyone says he is, then how complicit was she in his crimes?Escaping her old life might seem like a good idea but the choices she has made throughout her marriage have consequences. Here, on the island, Vanessa must reflect on what she did - and did not do. Only then can she discover whether she is worthy of finding peace at all. Can you ever truly wash away your past?___________What readers are saying:'A scorching, devastating tale''Powerful, challenging and beautifully written�?T'Compelling, propulsive, and completely immersive�?T'Written with the same emotional intensity and thought provoking honesty as his longer works�?T'Packs a hard hitting punch with its depth of emotional understanding of what it is to be human�?T'What an astoundingly brilliant piece of writing this is . . . by its end you feel as though you have read something much more epic in length'; 176 pages; 02/11/2023
