‘Subtle, intelligent and humane’ Sunday Telegraph’Boyne not only opens up conversations, he writes beautifully and sensitively’ Woman&Home‘A perceptive, moving exploration of guilt, grief and complicity’ Sunday Express‘Boyne does not put a foot wrong in this masterly novella’ Mail on Sunday’An intriguing investigation of contemporary trauma... [a] short but powerful book’ Guardian’His quietest novel... but one just as powerful as his larger canvases’ Business Post___________From million-copy-bestselling author John Boyne comes a masterfully reflective story about one woman coming to terms with the demons of her past and finding a new path forward.

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’’Compelling, propulsive, and completely immersive’’Written with the same emotional intensity and thought provoking honesty as his longer works’’Packs a hard hitting punch with its depth of emotional understanding of what it is to be human’’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’
