About this ebook
"No popular culture. No gossip. Loved it."
-Clare Stephenson
"l like the history in this book"
-Michael Nally
We spend a summer with an unlikely collection of strangers for whom, for whatever reason, the past is important; but it is more important than they imagine. The strands of their lives unexpectedly interweave. Each is a piece of a living jig-saw. They eventually put us in the picture. These extraordinary, ordinary people share with us a world where life’s casual and inexplicable mysteries are discussed and accepted as commonplace. O’Brien explores themes of life, death, belief in a warm-hearted and easy style that is both beguiling and funny. Her undemanding intellect brings ‘ologies and ‘osophies out to play. There is an unworldly, fascinating mischief afoot here. You can’t help but think out of the box.
