First draft
When a meticulous audiobook producer from Kilkenny inherits her aunt’s failing seaside guesthouse for one summer, she plans to sell it fast and get back to her orderly life. The problem is the guesthouse is full of eccentric long-stay visitors, and the man hired to repair the place is the same exasperating local she once argued with on a train and has not quite forgotten. As the season drags on, she starts to suspect the life she thought she wanted may have been built on avoiding the wrong things.
