Nell Hennessy left the wilds of western Ireland when she was sixteen and pregnant. It was more than thirty years before she returned. She didn't even make it back for her mother's funeral, but she's disturbed by a telephone call in the early hours of the morning at her Paris home and realises that she must go back as her daughter and grandchild are in danger. Why did it take her so long to return? What is it that's so upsetting her beloved granddaughter, Grace?

If this type of book interests you then you might like to try Kate Atkinson's [[Behind the Scenes at the Museum]], or Margaret Forster's [[Private Papers]] both of which look at the relationships between mothers and daughters and in both cases the writing style is less self-indulgent.
