Happy As We Are
“A tender, intimate and moving story of people trapped within what their place and time seems to allow for them, from a beautifully sensitive writer.”— LUCY CALDWELL
Over their years together, Brona and Liam have built a happy family and a good life on a quiet, suburban Dublin street. But on New Year's Eve 2015, Brona lies awake beside her husband, unable to ignore the feeling that something is wrong. When an old friend arrives unexpectedly on their doorstep, the careful architecture of their marriage begins to crack. Moving between the heady promise of their early days together and the quiet devastation of the present, Happy as We Are traces the fault lines of a relationship built on love and the long shadow of unspoken truths.
