From the Publisher:
A suspenseful novel about a young American couple who win a pub on the southern most tip of Ireland. |
Annotation:
When Eleanor and Fred Bulkington win an Irish pub in an odd promotional stunt from a beer company, the drifting, young American couple relocates from Vermont to the remote coastal countryside of Cork County, Ireland. Matt Bondurant evokes the striking landscape of this region with elegance and subtlety, as his novel slowly reveals Elly and Fred's building disaffection. Suspense builds slowly but steadily in THE NIGHT SWIMMER, as the idyllic small-town life proves shadier than the couple expected: the pub gets few customers, and they gradually learn of the town's sinister underbelly.
