An eighteen-year-old Irish girl arrives in London to study drama and falls violently in love with an older actor. This older man has a disturbing past that the young girl is unprepared for. But the young girl has a troubling past of her own... At once epic and exquisitely intimate, it is a celebration of the dark and the light in love. From the author of the Baileys Prize winning novel "A Girl is a Half-formed Thing".
