From the two-time Booker Prize finalist author, a
dazzlingly written novel exploring love, memory, grief, and
long-buried secrets
Recently retired policeman
Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home, a
lean-to annexed to a Victorian castle overlooking the Irish
Sea. For months he has barely seen a soul, catching only
glimpses of his eccentric landlord and a nervous young
mother who has moved in next door. Occasionally, fond
memories return, of his family, his beloved wife June and
their two children, Winnie and Joe.
But when two
former colleagues turn up at his door with questions about a
decades-old case, one which Tom never quite came to terms
with, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of
his past.
A beautiful, haunting novel, in which
nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is
about what we live through, what we live with, and what may
survive of us.
