Nuala O’Faolain était une écrivaine irlandaise célébrée pour ses explorations incisives de la psyché humaine et des dynamiques sociales. Ses œuvres, couvrant des mémoires, des romans et des récits historiques, abordaient souvent des thèmes tels que l'identité, la mémoire et la recherche de sens. Apportant l'observation aiguë d'une journaliste et la profondeur d'une universitaire, elle a créé un style narratif captivant qui entraînait les lecteurs dans les complexités de l'expérience humaine. Son héritage littéraire réside dans son examen honnête des intrications de la vie moderne.

Having lived abroad for many years, Rosie decides that it's time to return to Dublin to look after her ageing aunt Min. Nothing much has changed in the area where Rosie grew up, and Min's increasing lack of interest in life begins to sap Rosie's spirit.
From one of Ireland's most talented journalists, an extraordinary fiction debut, compelling, colourful and romantic. Kathleen is a 49-year-old travel writer, an Irishwoman based in London who has not been back to Ireland since she was twenty. Her home is her office, her family and friends a few close colleagues. She has not experienced passion since she was young. When, over the course of a few weeks, the props of her life fall away one after another, it is to passion that she turns - not in her own life, but in the fragmentary account of a scandalous affair in 19th century rural Ireland, between the wife of a big Anglo-Irish landlord, and her servant. And so Kathleen is drawn back to Ireland, to see whether she can find out more...
