The chance intersection of these two lost souls sets in motion a poignant love affair that requires Ellie to make an impossible choice.

Florian Kilderry couldn't know that the Connultys were said to own half the town. But Miss Connulty resolves to keep an eye on Florian ... and she becomes a witness to the ensuing events. In a characteristically masterful way, Trevor evokes the passions and frustrations in an Irish town during one long summer. From the Hardcover edition. Synopsis:In spare, exquisite prose, a master storyteller presents a haunting love story about the choices of the heart, and the passions and frustrations of three lives during one long summer.
