A completely heartbreaking Irish novel

On a sleepy Irish island, two teenagers from different worlds collide. Dee is a mainland girl on a summer retreat. Fionn is a local fisherman’s son, desperate to escape.

But behind closed doors, her marriage is crumbling and her heart still aches for the boy she left behind. Fionn never left home. Haunted by the past, he finds solace in the familiar rhythms of island life and the sea. But he’s never forgotten his first love, or the tragedy that drove them apart. When fate brings Dee and Fionn back together, old feelings resurface. But can they overcome the wounds of the past? Or are some promises meant to be broken?
