An ordinary day. An ordinary bank. An ordinary street in an ordinary town. Nothing ever happens, until, one day, a shocking robbery turns life upside down for five people:

Cillian, a police detective,

Martha, the woman he thought was the life of his life,

Tobias, who came to Ireland after WWII and now lies in a coma, shot in the bank robbery,

Roman, the young Polish teenager who is suspected of pulling the trigger

and his mother Rosa, the cleaner, who dreamed of a better life for herself and her son . . .

. . . and things will never be ordinary again.

Ciara Geraghty's writing has that rare ability to make you laugh out loud as well as cry. She combines tangled human relationships with humour, romance and warmth to create something truly special.
