HOME STRETCH - GRAHAM NORTON KARTONIERT (TB)

Shame and longing can flow through generations  but the secrets of the heart will not be buried
for ever. It is 1987 and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the
ceremony a group of young friends  including bride and groom  drive out to the beach. There is
an accident. Three survive  but three are killed. The live of the families are shattered and
the rifts between them are felt throughout the small town. Connor is one of the survivors. But
staying among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as living with the shame of having
been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows for another life  taking his secrets with
him. Travelling first to Liverpool  then London  he makes a home - of sorts - for himself in
New York. The city provides shelter and possibility for the displaced  somewhere Connor can
forget his past and forge a new life. But the secrets  the unspoken longings and regrets that
have come to haunt those left behind will not be silenced. And before long  Connor will have to
confront his past. Graham Norton's powerful and timely novel of emigration and return
demonstrates his keen understanding of the power of stigma and secrecy - with devastating
results.
