The Last Days of Joy

A stunning novel about complex family dynamics, the intricacies of motherhood, marriage, and infidelity, and the lingering power of past trauma, which echoes down generations.

Anne Tiernan was born in Zambia and grew up in Navan, Ireland, a small town about thirty miles from Dublin.
