月色正好,天空中有几颗初生的星星在自发地闪耀。她看着狗把碗舔干净。她坚信,这条狗肯定会伤她女儿的心。

克莱尔·基冈(Claire Keegan)的故事引人入胜,带我们走进威克洛乡村的中心地带,以及维克多·迪冈(Victor Deegan)的农场家庭,以及他的“三个十几岁的孩子、挤奶工和抵押贷款”。

当迪根发现一只枪狗,并把它作为礼物送给他的女儿时,他的妻子对这种看似善良的行为充满了不祥的预感。随着季节的流逝,埋藏已久的家族秘密可能会浮出水面。

The evening is fine. In the sky a few early stars are shining of their own accord. She watches the dog licking the bowl clean. This dog will break her daughter's heart, she's sure of it.

Claire Keegan's mesmeric story takes us into the heart of the Wicklow countryside, and of the farming family of Victor Deegan, with his 'three teenagers, the milking and the mortgage'.

When Deegan finds a gun dog and gives it as a present to his only daughter, his wife is filled with foreboding at this seeming act of kindness. As the seasons pass, long-buried family secrets threaten to emerge.
