FROM THE PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF TRESPASSES

'I loved it for the way it holds a national sorrow' ANNE ENRIGHT 'Moving, compassionate, a touching love story' DAVID NICHOLLS 'I gulped this down - convinced, fascinated and moved by every page' EMMA DONOGHUE 'A transcendent exploration of yearning, transformation and rescue' MIN JIN LEE _____

Róisín and Red meet as teenagers in their small Irish hometown in 1982. Brilliant, sharp-tongued and born to slip through the cracks, Red’s reputation for trouble precedes him – but Róisín finds herself swept up in his storm, and soon their connection deepens.

When a brush with the law pushes Red into a corner, he escapes their town to start a new life in England. As the years pass, they remain tethered to one another, a fragile thread holding their once fierce friendship together. When Róisín arrives in London, the promise of freedom, of reinvention, and of finding her dear friend calls.

But searching for Red leads Róisín to a truth darker than she could have imagined: when you go looking for someone you may uncover parts of yourself along the way that you’d rather stayed buried. And Red – bright, beautiful Red – might not want to be found at all.

Stations is a devastating story of love and friendship, and a tender portrait of the choices we blithely make when we are young, unaware that the consequences will reverberate throughout our lives. _____

'A beautiful novel about loss and being lost' NICK HORNBY 'Heartbreakingly real and utterly compelling' ROISÍN O'DONNELL 'One of the most gifted storytellers in contemporary Irish fiction' ELAINE FEENEY
