"Shirley's Song" is a literary novel by Marele Day that follows an emotionally bruised young woman who escapes London's demoralising social circuit for a summer with friends running a guest house on the remote west coast of Ireland, where the hard work, hilarity, and companionship of the season gradually give way to a deeper solitude as Shirley retreats from the friendly uproar of the house to the beach, drawn increasingly to the sea until it delivers, in the end, a final ironic resolution that balances effortless comedy with lyric pathos and sharp, irreverent humour.
