"I was twelve years old when God first spoke to my father. He didn't say much. He told him to become a painter, but he didn't go into much detail."
In Dublin, Nicholas' father gives up everything to devote himself to painting. On an island in western Ireland, young Isabel leaves for the big city, carrying a silent guilt. Following in the footsteps of magical realism, Niall Williams writes about doubt and faith, about passion and resignation, about heartbreak and unexpected miracle, as he tells the story of two lives that are heading unknowingly but irresistibly towards their destiny.

"A lyrical and passionate novel inspired by faith in divine order instead of chaos; faith in destiny, but also the demonic struggle against it; and, despite so many indications that life is brutal and arbitrary, the presence of the supernatural and the miraculous."
