Mary Lavelle, a young and beautiful Irish woman, travels to Spain
to work as a governess and see a little of life before returning to
Mellick to marry her fiance, John. Despite the impressive
surroundings and her three charming charges, she finds life as a
governess to the Areavaga family lonely. But with the arrival of
the family's brilliant but married son, Juanito, Mary finds her
loyalties and beliefs challenged by his fiery politics and passion.
With characteristic elegance and subtlety, Kate O'Brien, one of
Ireland's most beloved writers, illuminates the anguish and
ecstasies of a young woman at the heart of a family and a nation
divided.
