The Last Draft on Mutton Island
After a quiet editorial job in Galway disappears, Mara Keane takes on a short-term role digitising backlist titles for a small press that is trying to survive in a world of subscriptions, e-readers and shrinking attention spans. While she works through old files, she becomes involved with a manuscript left unfinished by a recently dead novelist, and the questions it raises about who gets to finish a story begin to spill into her own life.
