‘I don’t expect to read anything
as moving for many years.’
MELISSA HARRISON, Guardian

Tom Kettle, a retired policeman and widower, has his solitude interrupted when two former colleagues turn up at his door to ask about a decades-old case. A case that Tom never quite came to terms with. His peace is further disturbed when his new neighbour, Miss McNulty, a young single mother, urgently asks for his help.

From the two-time winner of the Costa Book of the Year, Old God’s Time is an unforgettable exploration of family, loss and love, in which nothing is quite as it seems.

‘A beautiful, important book.’
LAURA WHITMORE, BBC2 ‘Between the Covers’

‘Gorgeously crafted: rich, serpentine, deceptive, original, expansive, moving.’
KEVIN POWER, Irish Independent

‘Rare indeed are those novels worth cherishing and keeping close. Old God’s Time is one of them.’
IAN SANSOM, Daily Telegraph
