Shortlisted for the 2008 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

The prize-winning author of Breakfast on Pluto and The Butcher Boy returns with a chilling, spellbinding new novel.

Winterwood is a place of dreams and mystery. Once, near Dublin, Redmond was in heaven, married to the sugar-lipped Catherine, and the father of a lovely daughter, Immy. Then Red did something. And it could never be the same again.

Winterwood is a place of escape and sanctuary. Red meets Ault Pappie Ned, a fiddler and teller of tales who seems the authentic spirit of the old valley. Indeed he is a fiddler by nature as well and a man so mesmerising that Red sees himself anew, so new in fact that only a fresh name will now do as he leaves the demons of his past behind. And then one day Red spies Catherine again ... And still even this is not quite enough to save his new love from the man who is called Dominic Tiernan. Winterwood is a place of chill and threat--of danger, and worse.

Luminously canny, Winterwood shimmers as equally as it disturbs as Red tells his inimitable story of death and love.
