Book Synopsis

When James proposes, it seems like an opportunity for Jane to leave her lonely past behind and become part of a family. But the presence of a woman in the cottage near their remote farmhouse threatens Jane''s new-found happiness.

This compelling novel by one of Ireland''s finest writers won a Somerset Maugham Award.

''Madden''s achievement is to make partial revelations about obscure lives as gripping as a thriller. Her style is passionate, emotional, but never obvious and does not admit a single cliché or badly written sentence.'' Observer
