An immersive multi-generational family story from the beloved and bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes.
Inspired by the author's own family history, Whale Harbour follows the fortunes of eleven brothers, whose lives are set on different paths in the wake of a sudden tragedy. Whilst the younger brothers remain in Ireland, the older ones head overseas to Montana and New York, where they find work and build lives and families of their own. When one brother mysteriously disappears and becomes estranged from the family, it sparks a lifelong quest to find him.
Ideal for readers who:
Prioritise family epics about Irish brothers, emigration and inherited grief.
Need a multi-generational story stretching from Ireland to Montana and New York.
Notice character-rich fiction where one disappearance reshapes a whole family history.
Welcome tender, expansive novels about what families carry across distance.
