O Now!

O Now! is a tender and life-affirming story of friendship, love and the meaning of life, returning readers to the fictional Irish village of Faha in County Clare. As October brings the beginning of the season of spirits, two elderly neighbours, Bat Considine and Mossie Crowe, known affectionately as Ganga, continue their familiar evenings together by the fire. When Ganga unexpectedly passes away, Bat and the wider community are left to reflect on his life, the nature of friendship and the mysteries of what comes after. Beautifully observed, with warmth and gentle humour, it is a moving celebration of ordinary lives and the connections that give them meaning.
