Ireland, 1880 and a prosperous, provincial family observes the
three great autumnal feasts of the Church. As Teresa Mulqueen lies
dying, her family gather round her and beneath this drama another,
no less poignant, unfolds. Unmarried daughter Agnes awaits the
return of her sister Marie-Rose and brother-in-law Vincent. She
adores her sister, but secretly, pasionately, loves Vincent. And
their marriage, she knows, is unhappy...Ahead lies a terrible
battle between her uncompromising faith and the intensity of her
love. In this delicately imagined novel, originally published in
1934, Kate O'Brien lays bare the struggles between personal need
and the Catholic faith with the sympathy and insight which is the
hallmark of her craft.
