The Memory Stones

Nell Hennessy left rural Ireland at sixteen to have her daughter Ali. In over thirty years she has never returned. Now she lives an elegant, uncluttered life in Paris, until a phone call shatters her carefully constructed world. Now she must return to her childhood home. But what prevented Nell from making the journey before? And how has the unspoken impinged on the lives of four generations of women?

First sentence: Half-past three in the morning.
