This is a very readable novel which tells a tale of a development in Spain that was half-built and then abandoned with a few residents in place, gives an idea of what life is like for the residents, focuses on a man whose partner leaves him, trapped and self-deluding, in what had been their dream home, and what happens when his old Irish dad comes to visit him for a holiday.
It's a sensitively told story with great understanding and all the characters come to life in interesting ways. It was really enjoyable and rang a good many bells for me. Look out for Catherine O'Flynn. I liked "What was lost" as well but this one is happier.
