THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

TWICE WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR

Tom Kettle, a retired policeman, and widower, is settling into the quiet of his new home in Dalkey, overlooking the sea. His solitude is interrupted when two former colleagues turn up at his door to ask about a traumatic, decades-old case. A case that Tom never quite came to terms with. And his peace is further disturbed when his new neighbour, a mysterious young mother, asks for his help.

A beautiful, haunting novel, in which nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is an unforgettable exploration of family, loss and love

Boooooring

This book rises up to the expectations which happens with nearly all Booker and Pulitzer prize winners - they are consistently boring. This too is no exception. The performance is good lest nothing good within for a normal reader. I had vowed not to read any of these award winning books but fell in the trap this time. Regretting at leisure.
