Synopsis

“An elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale of morality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh way.” — New York Times Book Review 
Jeanette Haien’s award-winning novel relates the seemingly simple tale of a parishioner confiding in her priest—revelations that provoke a moral quandary for not only the clergyman, but the reader as well. With a foreword written and narrated by bestselling author Ann Patchett. 
While fishing in an Irish salmon stream one rainy morning, Father Declan de Loughry ponders the recent deathbed confession of his parishioner Kevin Dennehy. It seems Dennehy and his wife, Enda, had been quietly living a lie for fifty years. Yet the gravity of their deception doesn’t become clear to the good father until Enda shares the full tale of her suffering, finally confiding “the all of it.” 
Haien’s intimate novel of conversations and dilemmas is perfect for readers of Paul Harding’s Tinkers, Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead, Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood and Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These.
