"On a windswetp peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic, Tomâas and his reluctant son, Liam, are working for the great Ordnancs Survey project to map the whole of Ireland. The year is 1865, and in a country not long since ravaged and emptied by the Great Hunger, the task is not an easy one. Tomâas, however, is determined that his maps will be a record of the disaster. The British soldiers in charge are due to arrive any day, expecting the work to be completed, but Tomâas is unexpectedly sent off course by an unsettling encounter in a copse. His life, and the lives of those in his family, will never be the same again. Liam is terrified by the sudden change in his taciturn father. What was it that caused such cracks to open in Tomâas, and hos is Liam, aged only ten, going to finish the mapping and get them both home?"--Provided by publisher.
