'A rare jewel' John Banville
'A genuine page-turner' Donal Ryan
'This is how you tell a story' Cecelia Ahern
At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual - though tonight is anything but.
Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will powerfully and poignantly be laid bare.
'A book to savour and pass on. An absolute joy' Sunday Mirror
'A rich and moving story, a poetic voice and unforgettable character in Maurice' Elle
