Slim, but powerful. Read it in an afternoon, remember it for a long time after that. Tom
After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he might have spent his life, had he acted differently.
All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude - and the true significance of this particular date is revealed. From one of the world's great writers, So Late in the Day asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women.
