EVERYTHING THAT IS BEAUTIFUL
LouisDuring a drunken celebration after a county final win, Lucy's father Liam kisses her best friend Niamh. What happens afterwards is something Niamh wants to forget.
Niamh Ryan and Lucy Foley have known each other their whole lives. Niamh spent most of her childhood on the Foleys' farm with Lucy and her four siblings.
Lucy's father Liam Foley is an Irish hurling legend. He trains his daughters' local team which Niamh captains to victory in her mid-twenties.
When Lucy discovers messages from her father on Niamh's phone, she confronts him about the situation and informs him that what happened between him and Niamh was not consensual. The next morning, Lucy finds her father dead in a field on the family farm. He has taken his own life.
Only three women know the circumstances surrounding his death. Three years later, a family wedding brings them back together.
The novel follows the journey of these women -Helen, Niamh and Lucy- in the lead up to the wedding day.
This novel explores the idea of beauty as an unspoken contract we all have within ourselves, a spell that can be broken over and over again by sorrow and disappointment, hurt and rage, only to come back around to lift us into new ways of believing in the world again.
Louise Nealon has been awarded several times for her short stories. Her novel "Snowflake" (2021) was published internationally. She lives in County Kildare, Ireland.
