This short novel is about Dermot Lynch, a widower who travels to a town in Spain where his son Eamonn has purchased a condo and emigrated with his wife. As the novel begins, Eamonn's wife has just left him and he is unemployed when his father drops in for a visit from England.
Terribly poignant and just a lovely, lovely story of the complex relationship between an adult child and his father (and vice versa). As always with O'Flynn you get a little something extra, and this time, it's a fascinating look at expatriate communities, not just the one Eamonn lives in Spain, but also his father's in England and so on. Just lovely.
