Max is a man that isn't sure how to cope with the loss of his wife. So shortly after he passing he goes back to the place where he first fell in love, but not with her, the Seaside town of Ballyless.

I'm not sure that I fully got this one. It was a short read but it kind of dragged on for me. I didn't like that it only had two sections and not chapters. And because of that I felt that Banville bounced around a lot between plots, past and present, as well as characters. I had a hard time keeping track of who was who and why they were important. I'm not sure that I could recommend this to anyone. I didn't like it and was so thankful that it was over.
