The Beacon

by Nancy Harris

“I’ve nothing to hide”

Beiv, a celebrated feminist artist, is renovating a house on an island in West Cork.

Her ex-husband died in mysterious circumstances a decade ago and the body was never found.

Colm, her estranged son, has returned from San Francisco with his new wife looking for answers, but must confront secrets from his own past.

As rumours and gossip swirl, a defiant Beiv shines brightly in her glass house overlooking the wild Atlantic Sea. A deep, dark family mystery about family, sexuality and the subjectivity of art.
