Product description

A touching, encouraging, Irish family novel full of warmth that tells an impressive story of how to remain human in hard times. It is the story of a boy trying to find his place in the world, and that of a family and village community who defy life's adversities together. In a small community on the west coast of Ireland, a baby is found on the beach in 1973. Ambrose, the fisherman, and his wife Christine adopt the boy, who henceforth bears the name Brendan Bonnar.

Everyone is fascinated by this child, whose origin is a mystery, and Brendan, who remains a mystery to many, gives the village, which has been shaken by the storm of time, back the hope of a good life. For twenty years we follow the life of the family, which is marked by care and silence, by the rivalry of the brothers, by financial worries, but also by the happiness of being supported by a community.
