The narrative follows James Milbanke, an English archaeologist, as he embarks on a journey to Ireland, where he is set to reconnect with an old friend, Denis Asshlin, who seems to be struggling with personal demons. As the story unfolds, themes of nostalgia, personal change, and the cultural contrasts between the English and the Irish emerge. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Milbanke during his arrival in Ireland, where he reflects on his past and his long-standing friendship with Asshlin, who he has not seen in nearly thirty years. The journey is marked by the dreariness of a rainy landscape, evoking a sense of isolation. Once he reaches the Asshlin home, their reunion is filled with warmth but also hints at underlying tensions. Through dinner conversations, Milbanke feels a mix of nostalgia and unease about his friend’s life and his own evolving viewpoint, setting the stage for the complexities of their relationship that will develop throughout the story. As he interacts with Asshlin and his daughters, Clodagh and Nance, the unfolding drama around gambling, familial expectations, and personal struggles begins to take shape.
