A searing novel that blends truth and fiction—and Beatles fandom—from one of literature's most striking contemporary voices, author of the international sensation City of Bohane.
     It is 1978, and John Lennon has escaped New York City to try to find the island off the west coast of Ireland he bought nine years prior. Leaving behind domesticity, his approaching forties, his inability to create, and his memories of his parents, he sets off to find calm in the comfortable silence of isolation. But when he puts himself in the hands of a shape-shifting driver full of Irish charm and dark whimsy, what ensues can only be termed a magical mystery tour.
     Based on fact—Lennon really did own an island in Ireland; and he truly did spend time there in the months just before his untimely death—this is a story such as only an extraordinary Irish writer could tell.
