THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERTWICE WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Full of love and heartache, this is an unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers.' DOUGLAS STUART
'Shocking, stunning and extraordinarily brave. Barry has once again written a character for the ages.' LIZ NUGENT
Recently retired policeman Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home, a lean-to annexed to a Victorian castle overlooking the Irish Sea. For months he has barely seen a soul, catching only glimpses of his eccentric landlord and a nervous young mother who has moved in next door. Occasionally, fond memories return, of his family, his beloved wife June and their two children.
But when two former colleagues turn up at his door with questions about a decades-old case, one which Tom never quite came to terms with, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of his past.
A beautiful, haunting novel, in which nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is about what we live through, what we live with, and what may survive of us.

Pressezitat
'There is a kind of writing so rare and accomplished that it seems to erase the very nuts and bolts of its own construction. Reading it can produce an experience that feels close to miraculous ... I don't expect to read anything as moving for many years.' Guardian
