Cauvery Madhavan

It’s 1986 and Londoner Marlo O’Sullivan has just found out that his sister is his mother. He moves to Glengarriff, to a cottage he has inherited, in the stunning Beara Peninsula. When a neighbour dies unexpectedly, Marlo takes over his minibus service to Cork. Over the course of Cauvery Madhavan’s most accomplished novel to date we move from the 1980s to the 1600s and back as a 400-hundred-year-old tragedy reveals itself. Cauvery will be in conversation with Sukanya Chakrabarti.
