Too late now

Capturing people's everyday language is
part of the author's effort to portray the
lives we live, the world we live in.

Claire Keegan

On a sunny Friday in Dublin, Cathal takes the bus to spend a lonely long weekend at his home. He can't get Sabine out of his mind, a sweet woman with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television for company, a bottle of champagne, and his thoughts, Cathal confronts himself. Ultimately, what is love, when we never give anything?
Claire Keegan, in her unique way, wonders if a lack of generosity destroys relationships between men and women.
