On a wild, windy April day in Manhattan, when Mary first meets John
Keane, she cannot know what lies ahead of her. A marriage, a
fleeting season of romance, and the birth of four children will
bring John and Mary to rest in the safe embrace of a traditional
Catholic life in the suburbs. But neither Mary nor John, distracted
by memories and longings, can feel the wind that is buffeting their
children, leading them in directions beyond their parents' control.
Michael and his sister Annie are caught up in the sexual
revolution. Jacob, brooding and frail, is drafted to Vietnam. And
the youngest, Clare, commits a stunning transgression after a
childhood spent pleasing her parents. As John and Mary struggle to
hold on to their family and their faith, Alice McDermott weaves an
elegant, unforgettable portrait of a world in flux-and of the
secrets and sorrows, anger and love, that lie at the heart of every
family.
