About this listen
An exquisite new short story from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Small Things Like These and Foster.
'A genuine once-in-a-generation writer.' The Times
After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude - and the true significance of this particular date is revealed.
From one of the finest writers working today, Keegan's new story asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women. Is it possible to love without sharing?
'Every word is the right word in the right place, and the effect is resonant and deeply moving.' Hilary Mantel
'Claire Keegan makes her moments real - and then she makes them matter.' Colm Tóibín

They say, if you want to know how a woman will turn out, look at her mother; they, being the sort of men written about in this book. But I’ve never heard anyone say the same about a man & his father. Perhaps, watch how a man’s father treats his wife. Sons need to see that their father respects their mother, or the circle repeats itself.
Well observed & beautifully written.
