A Woman & Home Book of the Month
A Prima Book of the Month
'Compelling ... searing and intimate' - New York Times
'Saoirse deserves to be on prize lists this year. Utterly beautiful with lyrical prose and storytelling, I loved this!' - Prima, Book of the Month
'An intimate, intense exploration of identity, reinvention and survival' - Woman & Home, Book of the Month
Saoirse has everything she ever dreamed of: a beautiful home, two precious daughters, and Daithí - the man who loves her with a quiet, loyal fierceness that still catches her off guard. To everyone who knows her, she's living a charmed life.
But Saoirse has built her life on a lie.
When her latest art exhibition unexpectedly wins a major award, the attention is instant and overwhelming - interviews, national headlines. With every spotlight pointed her way, Saoirse's carefully constructed world begins to unravel.
The woman that everyone is celebrating doesn't actually exist. She's an invention, and every moment in the limelight brings her closer to exposure.
With the past closing in on her and the life she has created about to fall like a house of cards, Saoirse must decide how far she'll go to protect the man she loves and the family she never believed she deserved.
Secrets don't stay buried, and this one could cost her everything.

'Audacious and propulsive, a story that surges with emotional vitality - this is a dazzling novel' (Colin Walsh)
'A beautifully wrought, deeply human story of the power of creativity in the face of survival. By turns funny and moving, with an unforgettable cast of characters (with a special mention to Daithí, the Mr Darcy of Donegal) Saoirse brims with humanity and hope' (Louise Nealon)
