The night stages - Jane Urquhart

After fearlessly ferrying Hurricanes and Spitfires in World War II, Tam leaves England for the most westerly tip of Ireland to begin life anew. As her relationship with Niall, a charismatic Irishman, begins to unravel, his growing despondency focuses on his younger brother, Kieran, who mysteriously disappeared years earlier, and the role he played in the family tragedy. Slowly Tam begins to piece together Kieran's heart-breaking story as she searches for the truth about Niall.

Set in Ireland's harshly beautiful landscape, The Night Stages is a magnificent, evocative novel exploring a family's complex and fractured past, the sorrow of separation and the profound effect of Ireland's wild and elemental landscape in a world where a way of life is changing.
