Moya. The M Word. Whisper it. Hide it. But whatever you do, never say it out loud … Maggie Yates talks to her best mate Moya every single day – about her mum losing her job, about how Mum’s stopped opening the curtains and started crying in secret, and about Maggie’s own plan to cheer her up by finding her a fella with a bit of money to spend. Moya’s there for every step of it. ‘You’re dreaming if you think someone like that exists round here,’ she smiles, ‘but I’ll help.’ Yet deep down, Maggie knows Mum’s tears are about more than sadness, that there’s no easy fix, and that Moya isn’t really there at all – because although Maggie talks to her every day, Moya died months ago … An unforgettable novel about grief and healing from Costa and Irish Book Award-winner Brian Conaghan.
