You’re safe here. But you have to trust me now. For your own good. I need you to stay. Because if you go, I go and I’d rather not.

New Year’s Eve 1979. Two souls weather the storm together in Inish Dúbh Lighthouse: Christy the Keeper, shining a ceaseless vigil for all at sea; and a young woman. Christy doesn’t know why she is here or what she wants from him. Always the joker, always the clown, he puts on a good show. But as the storm rages and truths start to unfold, Christy must decide – to weather the storm or take a leap of faith?

Irene Kelleher’s A Safe Passage is a story of love and isolation, guilt, grief and the ultimate need for human connection.
