This is the unforgettable story of Maeve Donovan. Set in troubled
Ireland and America, and spanning sixty years of the twentieth century,
this exhilarating and heartrending saga tells of the passions, triumphs
and tragedies that governed her life and those of her children and
grandchildren.
Maeve is the daughter of a wealthy Dubliner, a
Protestant. Strong-willed and unorthodox, she flouts her parents’ wishes
by marrying Danny, a rebellious and idealistic young Roman Catholic. On
the day that her son Kieran is born, Danny is in the thick of the
Easter Rising, fierce in his idealism yet as conventional in his views
of women and marriage as Maeve is unconventional. When Danny’s unruly
temper begins to direct itself against Maeve and Kieran, Maeve finds
herself deeply attracted to Danny’s strong and gentle brother, Dermot.
But Dermot is a priest, and therefore forbidden. Their passion and guilt
have dire repercussions for generations to come.
