In 'Old God's Time', Tom Kettle, a retired policeman and widower, settles into the quiet of his new home in Dalkey, overlooking the sea. His solitude is interrupted when two former colleagues turn up at his door to ask about a traumatic, decades-old case, a case that Tom never quite came to terms with. His peace is further disturbed when his new neighbor, a mysterious young mother, asks for his help. This is an unforgettable exploration of family, loss, and love, where nothing is quite as it seems.
