A fabulous multi-levelled novel, shortlisted for the Montana NZ Book Awards. Clare Lacey is on a quest. In Ireland to attend an art history conference, she sets out to find her father who walked out one day to buy a packet of cigarettes when she was a child, and disappeared. She is urged on her way by chance encounters: with a woman in a high tower, a blind man at a crossroads, a singer whose song she does not understand ...Clues lie all around on a labyrinth of walls - but the final clue lies deep within. With Irish roots and a nod to the Irish classic, The Year of the Hiker by John B. Keane, this is a contemporary novel about inheritance, belief, art, love ...and limestone.

This is a wonderful read. The first chapter is slow and arduous. This first chapter though, is followed by a beautifully written story that is worth reading. It is a NZ story about a woman looking for answers from her past but is not heavy or taxing in any way. It is poetic and lyrical and Fiona Farrell is an amazing writer and this is a good example of her work. It is a good read for both men and for women.
