FROM THE PUBLISHER
Bernard MacLaverty brings us into the life of Catherine McKenna—estranged daughter, vexed lover, new mother, and musician making her mark in a male-dominated field. On the remote island of Islay she struggles for her artistic life in the midst of a relationship gone dangerously wrong. In Glasgow she becomes a mother and later composes a large-scale symphonic work to celebrate her child. And in her home town in Northern Ireland she returns to bury a difficult father, forge a tentative peace with her mother, and confront the ghosts of a constricting past. In part hers is a very modern spiritual journey, from superstition to sensibility.

On the way to GiraKitty...I was going to read this but it just seems to keep getting backed up so I'm sending it on. I may decide to read it again sometime later.
Thank you, Nou. This eventually made it's way to me. :)
