Placeholders
From Shelf: Coming Soon: New fiction for September
A profound and emotionally insightful debut novel about a cross-cultural relationship, strained family dynamics, Jewish identity, loneliness, love and loss....
An unflinching and emotionally insightful debut about cultural identity, homesickness, love and loss.
In the five years following his brother's death, Aaron has built himself a life of solitary routines. After moving from Dublin to Boston, and illegally overstaying her visa, Roisin has done the same.
When the two meet on a night out, they each find in the other something missing in their lives. A semblance of home.
Their relationship is complicated by their disparate religious backgrounds - Aaron is Jewish; Roisin is atheist - and by the harsh realities of everyday life. Just as they're pushed to their breaking point, Roisin realises she is pregnant.
Placeholders is a poignant story of loneliness corrected and the transformative power of love.
