Away - Jane Urquhart

On a small island off the northern Irish coast in the mid-nineteenth century, a sailor is washed ashore and dies in the arms of Mary, whose visions of this ‘demon love' inhabit the most intimate reaches of her heart and mind until her own death. It is four generations later in Canada, where Mary brought her children to escape the potato famine, that her great-granddaughter Esther tries to make sense of Mary's life and the obscurities surrounding her family's history. Seductive, powerful and humorous, AWAY is an entrancing saga of thwarted emotions and heartbreaking betrayal.
