Two Moons (Paperback, New Ed)

Three generations of women in a house near Dublin. Grandmother Mimi (a pet name adopted in a skittish mood to avoid the more sedate Mama) now crumbling towards old age - until her guardian angel appears with a bottle of 'Vino Nobile' tucked under his arm. Grace, her daughter, an actress rehearsing Gertrude in an Abbey Theatre production of Hamlet. Polly, Grace's child, with a young man in tow who causes her the usual heartbreak of young love. Grace's one aim is to put off all worries - even her mother's mysterious light-heartedness until the first night is over. Mimi, on the other hand, is determined to pack in as much celebratory activity as possible before it's too late. Polly, on holiday from a London job, wants to marry her actor boyfriend. Johnston has written an enchanting tale of family love that is a happy blend of magic, faith and humour.Three generations of women in a house near Dublin.

In a house overlooking Dublin Bay, Mimi and her daughter Grace are disturbed by the unexpected arrival of Grace's daughter Polly, and her striking new boyfriend. The events of the next few days will lead both of them to reassess the shape of their lives. For while Grace's visitors focus her attention on an uncertain future, Mimi, who receives a messenger of a very different kind, must begin to set herself to rights with the betrayals and disappointments of the past.
