Description: 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 pack 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 couple of rotund earthlings, 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.
Notes: Novel.
