This compelling novel by Nuala O'Faolain intertwines the stories of two women, an Irish travel writer living in present-day London, and a British landowner's wife during the 19th century potato famine, who was convicted of committing adultery with an Irish groom. "A lovely heartbreaker of a novel that asks the hard questions...O'Faolain writes beautifully about longing and regret." ("USA Today") "We often hail the virtuosic performance of a talented new 'writer's writer, ' but O'Faolain may be a rarer thing in today's age of irony: a reader's writer, with a flair for straightforward, Dickensian storytelling."("Vogue") "One of the finest achievements of the book is its unflinching, empathetic depiction of just how it feels...to experience the chill clutch of the thought that the rest of one's life might be empty of love, sex, intimate human contact...a fully rendered portrait." ("The New York Times Book Review")
