Esme has run the guest house in Ballycove for as long as anyone can remember. But in her declining years, she is forced to take a back seat for the first time in her life, relying on the house’s colourful visitors to help her keep her grip on the world.

There’s Cora, the wife visiting indefinitely (without her husband); Niamh, the city professional with a life-changing decision to make; and Phyllie, the grandmother whose family is slipping away from her.

Each one has something they want to escape – or to hold on to. If they’re lucky, the guest house might just give them the second chance they didn’t know they needed…

From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan comes a new, uplifting story about discovering love, friendship and the healing power of the Irish sea air. It will charm fans of Sheila O’Flanagan, Heidi Swain and Susanne O’Leary.
