Description

AN AWARD-WINNING AND REMARKABLE IRISH NOVELIST

'A superior type of romantic novel . . . quasi-intelligent and discursive' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

'Writes with almost poetic intensity of the ecstasy and anguish of love' VAL HENNESSY

'A description of a bull-fight that rivals Hemingway . . . dramatic . . . smooth' KIRKUS REVIEWS

Mary Lavelle, a beautiful young Irish woman, travels to Spain to see some of the world before marrying her steadfast Fiance John. But despite the enchanting surroundings and her three charming charges, life as governess to the wealthy Areavaga family is lonely and she is homesick.

Then comes the arrival of the family's handsome, passionate - and married - son Juanito and Mary's loyalties and beliefs are challenged. Falling in love with Juanito and with Spain, Mary finds herself at the heart of a family and a nation divided.
