Three strangers.
One question: who are we without the people who love us?
Sis Cotter has lived her whole life in a small house by her beloved beach. Here, she grew up, reared her family, and buried her husband. Now her children are far away and, in three days, her house will be taken from her.
Next door, Lydia has withdrawn from her husband, her friends, her life. She watches the sea as her own private penance for a wrong she can never put right.
Peter's best friend is dying, and his long-time foster mother is slowly forgetting who he is. Adrift without his two anchors, and struggling with the ethics of displacing people for a living, he looks for something to remind him of who he is and who he wants to be.
Winter People is a story of forgiveness, resilience, and the power of the sea to unlock what we are most afraid to say.
As featured in the Irish Examiner and the Irish Times.
''There is a gentleness and depth here that is engrossing'' Anne Griffin
''Immersive and absorbing'' Joanna Glen, author of Costa shortlist novel The Other Half of Augusta Hope

''Stunning and profoundly moving'' Billy O'Callaghan, author of Costa Short Story Award finalist The Boatman
''Compassionate, contemplative, and absorbing'' Claire Fuller
''A tender exploration of loss, loneliness and human fragility... I loved it'' Madeleine D'Arcy
