People come to the guest house for fresh air and views across the Atlantic. But if they're lucky, they might just leave with the second chance they didn't know they needed.

Esme has run the guest house for as long as anyone in Ballycove can remember. But in her declining years, her sight is failing, and when she has a fall on the eve of the summer season, she is forced to take a back seat for the first time in her life.

From her chair in the entry hall, not much passes Esme by. There's Cora, the wife visiting indefinitely... without her husband; Niamh, the city professional with a life-changing decision to make; and Phyllie, the grandmother whose family is slipping away from her.

Esme's guests provide the color that helps her keep her grip on the world. All of them have something they want to escape – or to hold on to.

But can Esme help them find their way before the summer is over? From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan comes a new, uplifting story about discovering love, friendship, and the healing power of the Irish sea air.

It will charm fans of Sheila O Flanagan, Heidi Swain, and Susanne O Leary.

Once again, Faith pulls you into her world instantly and never lets you go, with such an incredibly real cast of characters who you feel actually exist.

A life-affirming and unputdownable read.
