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
