It’s 1993. Fifteen-year-old Mac Flannigan lives for her summers by Lough Córa in the sleepy Northern Irish village of Kilbeg. Along with her cousin Alice and best friend Gabe (who she’s secretly in love with) Mac plans for the future, sheltered from the rumblings of violence around them. Then a tragic event changes everything, setting the friends’ lives on diverging paths. Twenty-four years later, an environmental disaster on the lough threatens to bring long-buried wounds to the surface. Together with a troubled English ecologist, Mac has to figure out if Córa can be saved before the events of summers long ago start to unravel the carefully ordered life she’s built for herself. But she’s not the only one with a past that could change everything … Nostalgic, funny and moving, this story of love, loss and forgiveness examines the gap between the children we were and the adults we become and asks, ‘When the worst happens, how do we find our way back to ourselves?’

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
