Second paragraph of third chapter:

At the sound of his father's car coming around the corner, Niall steps sideways, twice, then back, a move that reminds him of the knight on a chessboard, and conceals himself behind a pillar.

Slightly rambling story of blended families, broken relationships, tragedies and reconciliation. Amused by the counterfactual train journey across the border from Donegal to Derry in the first chapter. (Those lines were all closed in the 1950s.) Nice jigsaw of narratives which did fit together in the end. You can get it here.

This was my top unread book acquired in 2016. Next on that pile is The Anything Box, by Zenna Henderson.
