The course of Frank Mackey’s life was set by one defining moment when he was nineteen. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again.
Twenty years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop, when his sister calls to say that Rosie’s suitcase has been found.
Faithful Place is a coruscating story of family and secrets, love and loss, of how sometimes, the prism through which we view the past can shift, and everything we think we have seen must be re-evaluated.
