Publisher Description

'It is difficult to convey the marvellous quality of this book' Daily Telegraph

Constance Keating has lived a life of internal exile, alienated from her family and from Ireland.

Now she has returned to her family home to die. While that painful, messy process takes place she replays, like a home movie, the fragments of her past. And, as the festooned Christmas tree awaits its day, so Constance also waits, hoping her child's father will come and that the final outcome will be on her terms.

What readers say about THE CHRISTMAS TREE:

'A book that touched my heart. No sentimentality, or tear jerking, simply a beautiful, tender, yet sad, story'

'Read it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be a wiser person by the time you finish the last page'
