The Two Hands

By: Donnelly, R.

Some legends are made by what a town remembers. Others, by what it agrees to forget.

On a windswept headland on Ireland's Atlantic coast, there's a bench in her name. Sister Bernadette - whistleblower, truth-teller, the nun who exposed a mother and baby home half a century ago. The story is settled. The town sees no reason to revisit it.

Erin O'Donnell has spent eighteen years trading on a single vision of second sight she had as a teenager. When a parapsychology symposium brings her to the convent ruins, she expects two days of hotel bars and polite applause. What she gets is an experience she can't explain - and a hotel owner who seems to have been waiting for someone to finally ask the questions the legend doesn't answer.

A notebook with two handwritings. A question that won't stay closed. A truth that took sixty years to surface.

The Two Hands is an atmospheric literary mystery about the stories institutions tell, the women they erase, and what happens when one reluctant outsider finally listens.

Perfect for readers of atmospheric literary mysteries and Irish fiction with strong, conflicted women at their heart.
