Time of the child / Niall Williams.

Summary:

Doctor Jack Troy was born and raised in the village of Faha, but his responsibilities mean he has always been set apart form his community. A visit from the doctor is always a sign of bad things to come. His eldest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father's shadow, and remains there. But in the Advent season of 1962, as the town readies itself for Christmas, Ronnie and Doctor Troy's lives are turned upside down when an abandoned baby is left in their care. As Christmas approaches, a deep and abiding love for this secret visitor takes root in the doctor's household. But it is Ireland in the 1960s, and under the eye of the church, and the gossip of the parish, what chance does the unmarried Ronnie have of holding on to this most unexpected gift?
