** A Book of the Year in The Times - The New Statesman - Observer - Financial Times - Irish Times - Irish Independent - Times Literary Supplement **
It is 1985, in an Irish town.
During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal and timber merchant, faces into his busiest season.
As he does the rounds, he feels the past rising up to meet him - and encounters the complicit silences of a people controlled by the Church.
