When a baby boy is washed up on to the shore of a village on Ireland’s West Coast, not everyone is happy. Garrett Carr’s beautifully crafted first novel for adults penetrates the heart of a fishing community and tackles with warmth and empathy the effect that adoption can have upon a family.

Carr will join Kerry novelist Noel O’Regan for a conversation about complicated families, love in action, and a fishing village’s changing relationship to the sea that has always defined them.
