About this listen

Set in a Spanish seaside enclave this is a passionate account of lost love and the return to loving, where currents of regret and loneliness clash with a fiery instinct for survival.

The author also wrote The Country Girl's Trilogy, August is a Wicked Month and Johnny I Hardly Knew You.

lovely narration with irish accent. book is more a series of vignettes. because of this certain shocking parts of the book, most especially the ending, seem to come out of nowhere and one is left feeling not so satisfied.

vignettes rather than a novel
