\n PUBLISHERS WEEKLY<\/a>
\nThis amazingly assured first novel is set in Northern Ireland from 1949 to 1986, and is about lost love and the limited consolations of family. After receiving rejections from 38 publishers in the U.K. and Ireland, Forbes (an actress) got a tip from Paul Harding of Tinkers fame at the Dublin Writers\u2019 Festival, which led her to send the manuscript to Bellevue.
