The first of John Banville’s novels concerning father and daughter Alexander and Cass Cleave,Eclipseis a lyrical exploration of memory, family and identity.

Actor Alexander Cleave has left his career and his family behind and banished himself to his childhood home. He wants to retire from life, but finds this impossible in a house brimming with presences, some ghostly, some undeniably human. Memories, anxiety for the future, and more particularly for his beloved but troubled daughter, conspire to distract him from his dreaming retirement.

This humane and beautifully written story tells the tragic tale of a manintelligent, preposterous and vulnerablewho, in attempting to bring the performance to a close, finds himself travelling inevitably towards a devastating denouement.

Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
