Product Description
Review
It is the summer of 1939 and months before the outbreak of war actress Angele Maury makes a pilgraimage to her father's birthplace in rural Ireland. Soon she is seductively sucked into the quixotic world of her Kernahan relatives, her exotic presence acting as a catalyst that will permanently transform all their lives. Familiar themes from O'Brien's fiction reoccur here: the constant duel between human passion and the cold light of reality, love and conscience again illuminating a beautifully constructed story that has all the hallmarks of a highly accomplished author. O'Brien is not an easy read for she has no truck with palliatives or neat conclusions that betray life's inherent contradictions, but in her own forthright, uncompromising manner she is superbly rewarding for she courageously explores painful territory that is of universal relevance. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
This novel portrays the love - and hate - that can exist between women. Joan's mother binds her daughter to her with hoops of steel, a trap which nothing can spring no career, no man and certainly no woman.
