During World War II, Londoner Elizabeth White is evacuated to Kilgarret (Ireland), to the O'Connors' home. With Aisling O'Connor she forms a friendship that for twenty years withstands changes, joys, losses, betrayals and dreams. The arrival of a man in their lives puts that relationship to the test.
The novel was originally published in 1982; this Arrow edition, 'New Ed', is from 2006 and is catalogued as a family saga.
For readers of family sagas and historical fiction, with a special interest in female friendship and Irish narrative.
Anne Maeve Binchy Snell was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, columnist, and speaker. Her novels were characterised by a sympathetic and often humorous portrayal of small-town life in Ireland, and surprise endings. Her novels, which were translated into 37 languages, sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Her death at age 73, announced by Vincent Browne on Irish television late on 30 July 2012, was mourned as the death of one of Ireland's best-loved and most recognisable writers.
