Rosaleen, a young schoolgirl in the early Sixties, embarks on a secret affair with the renowned sculptor Felix Lehmann, a Jewish bohemian. As the rebellious daughter of Irish publicans, she finds herself swept away in a whirlwind of romance, art, and indulgence, modeling for Felix while they escape to France and Soho. However, their idyllic life shatters when Rosaleen discovers she is pregnant.

She feels a stirring within her, prompting her to confront a mystery from her past linked to recurring visions of a tree that invade her dreams. On the brink of a breakthrough, she travels to Ireland, uncertain of what she seeks. Meanwhile, Aoife sits by her dying husband Cashell, recounting their life together, from their wartime courtship to their return from exile. Yet, a significant piece of their history remains unspoken. As time slips away, Aoife urgently needs Cashell to reveal the fate of Rosaleen. This beautifully written novel explores themes of love, motherhood, secrets, and the liberating power of truth.
