Ria lived on Tara Road in Dublin with her dashing husband, Danny,
and their two children. She fully believed she was happily married,
right up until the day Danny told her he was leaving her to be with
his young, pregnant girlfriend. By a chance phone call, Ria meets
Marilyn, a woman from New England unable to come to terms with her
only son's death and now separated from her husband. The two women
exchange houses for the summer with extraordinary consequences,
each learning that the other has a deep secret that can never be
revealed.
Drawn into lifestyles vastly differing from their own, at first
each resents the news of how well the other is getting on. Ria
seems to have become quite a hostess, entertaining half the
neighborhood, which at first irritates the reserved and withdrawn
Marilyn, a woman who has always guarded her privacy. Marilyn seems
to have become bosom friends with Ria's children, as well as with
Colm, a handsome restaurateur, whom Ria has begun to miss terribly.
At the end of the summer, the women at last meet face-to-face.
Having learned a great deal, about themselves and about each other,
they find that they have become, firmly and forever, good friends.
A moving story rendered with the deft touch of a master artisan,
Tara Road is Maeve Binchy at her very best--utterly beautiful,
hauntingly unforgettable, entirely original, and wholly enjoyable.
