About this listen
The past has never left Billy. It's just been waiting for him to come and find it...
It's been over thirty years since Billy last called Northern Ireland home. Back then, his secret love for schoolfriend Conor was the only shining light that kept him going during troubled times. That is, until their romance was tragically cut short when Conor disappeared without a trace.
Now a phone call draws Billy back home when his mother falls into a coma. While sorting through old belongings, he stumbles upon an envelope bearing his name. Inside, he finds a mysterious note and a mixtape left by Conor - dated the very day he disappeared in 1989.
But who sent it? Why did his mother keep it hidden? And what really happened to Conor?
As Billy sets off to find the answers to a mystery that's followed him for years, he soon realises that uncovering the truth about his lost past may come at a high cost. But laying the ghosts of that past to rest might be the only way to finally set himself free...
From the author of The Vanishing of Margaret Small comes a compelling and deeply nostalgic coming-of-age tale that promises to touch your heart and stay with you long after the end. Packed with humour and tenderness, it's perfect for fans of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, The Keeper of Stories and A Tidy Ending.

Another incr
Another amazing book which I couldn’t stop listening to. Just as good as his previous book, full of tender poignant moments and a plot which keeps you hooked till the end. The author has a great way of really capturing the eras of both the past (80s Ireland) and the present, and linking them together. Brilliantly written with lovable characters. I can’t wait for his next book…

Loved it.
What an absolutely fabulous story. I have been married to an Ulsterman for 30 years. The narration is perfect, both poignant and hilarious. I’ve laughed and cried. The NI phrases and references to 80’s life and culture are familiar and heartwarming. I loved every second of this, it was like listening to an old friend telling a yarn so it was !

An absolute cracker of a story
This is the first time I’ve left a review but this was SO amazing that I felt compelled to. Beautifully written, rounded complex believable (& sometimes lovable) characters & a fascinating story. Loved his first novel but this is even better. Fabulous narration too. Highly recommend

Brilliant
this is the 2nd novel by this author that I've listened to on Audible and I really loved them both...I'm lazy about leaving reviews, but this deserves a double thumbs up
