Seventeen-year-old Noel Crowe is idling in the unexpected sunshine when Christy makes his first entrance into Faha, bringing secrets he needs to atone for. Though he can't explain it, Noel knows right then: something has changed. As the people of Faha anticipate the endlessly procrastinated advent of the electricity, and Noel navigates his own coming-of-age and his fallings in and out of love, Christy's past gradually comes to light, casting a new glow on a small world.

Pure poetry

I loved this story and I loved listening to it rather than reading it. It is an Irish story but also has much to say about being human anywhere. But Oh now, can the Irish tell a story!

What does it mean to devote yourself wholly to helping others? In Strangers Drowning, Larissa MacFarquhar seeks out people living lives of extreme ethical commitment and tells their deeply intimate stories; their stubborn integrity and their compromises; their bravery and their recklessness; their joys and defeats, and wrenching dilemmas. A couple adopts two children in distress. But then they think: If they can change two lives, why not four? Or 10? They adopt 20.

Profound and heartbreaking

I had no idea what this book was about, or even if it was fiction or nonfiction until I started listening. It was the next book in the queue of my book reading group. Now I plan to buy the book so I can reread the stories and reencounter the questions that MacFarquar raises in her astute examination of altruism. A couple of sections brought me to tears. Excellent reading by the author .
