'.What need have you to dread the monstrous crying of wind?'
-W.B. Yeats
Buenos Aires, 1939: Anna McGeoch arrives in Argentina from
Scotland to join her brother and his wife and work on a Christian
mission among the Matacos Indians. But within hours of her arrival
she learns that her brother has been killed. Anna stays on in
Buenos Aires and is welcomed into the glamorous lifestyle of the
Hurlingham Club's polo-playing community. When she marries Tito
Cadoret, a life of wealth and happiness seems to lie ahead. But,
unknown to Anna, Cadoret is already in thrall to a corrupt and
powerful lawyer, and as the years pass, he and his family are drawn
ever deeper into a dark world of murder, blackmail, and the 'Dirty
War'. When, in 1982, the British Task Force sails for the
Falklands, Anna's daughter Nikki sails with it as a naval nurse
aboard a hospital ship. After the battles are over, she tends the
wounds of British and Argentine sailors and soldiers, and sees as
first hand the tragedy and futility of armed conflict.
As in the case of so many women down the centuries, Anna and
Nikki suffer much in order to keep the family together, and the
price they pay for personal freedom is high.
