Prepare yourself for one of the loveliest love stories we have ever encountered.
And we're not just talking romantic love here, but love of family, love of history, love of friends, and that all-important
but so sneakily elusive love of self. Despite her own better judgment, London travel writer Kathleen de Burca makes
the bold move to journey back to her homeland in Ireland, several decades after her initial escape from family hell. She
simply can't help it, as she's totally obsessed by a very old scandal-a sordid affair that took place over a century ago
between an English landlord's wife and an Irish servant. Having spent her entire adult life as a slave to passion,
Kathleen is finally ready to stare disastrous love in its greedy face, hoping to gain a tiny smidgen of personal insight
into her own highly irregular relationships. What she discovers as she researches this old story is quite a surprise,
both to her and to the utterly absorbed reader. Ready to lose your heart, once again, to a truly worthwhile book? This
is the perfect candidate.
