MacMahon writes with such beautiful simplicity, conjuring real and complex people straight off the page ... subtle and authentic - Claire Fuller On opposite sides of the world, half-siblings Cassie and Christo have built their lives around work, intent on ignoring their painful past. When a dramatic storm in Galway hits the headlines, they're drawn back there to revisit a glorious childhood summer, the last before their mother died. But their journey uncovers memories of a far less happy summer - one that had tragic consequences. Confronted with the havoc their mother left in her wake, Cassie and Christo are forced to face their past and - ready or not - to deal with the messy tangle of parental love and neglect that shaped them. The Home Scar is a luminous and precise story about the inheritance of loss and the possibility of finally making peace with it. _________ Her beautifully simple style belies psychological complexity ... and her tone is wryly accepting - Big Issue Quiet and bleakly beautiful ... like the siblings and Ireland, it will leave a permanent mark on those who venture into its depths - Buzz Picks at the wounds only a mother can inflict ... ambitious ... intricate - Sunday Independent An exceptional novel about a brother and sister returning to the west of Ireland and to a summer of their past. - Anne Griffin, Sunday Independent A powerful story about legacy and loss and the possibility of reconciliation - Irish Times
