From his beloved dogs to his rediscovered love of Ireland, the men Graham has loved and lost to his love affair with New York. 'It seems to me that we are all made up of the things we adore, and by telling my stories through the prism of my passions I hope you will get an insight into my life' In his new autobiography, written with characteristic humour and often outrageous candour, Graham shows that life is more than just a series of dates and it's really the things you love that make you who you are. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke - a former love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village's dark past begins to unravel. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste.

The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama and yet its inhabitants are troubled. And perhaps, had she not found the small stash of letters, the truth would never have come to light. The house of her childhood is stuffed full of useless things, her mother's presence already fading.

There is nothing here for her she wonders if there ever was. Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother's death, intent only on wrapping up that dismal part of her life.
