Synopsis

Alice Lynch appears to have everything -- brains, beauty and wealth -- yet she harbours a barely concealed hatred of her husband. What the student she dallies with doesn't understand is why she doesn't leave him. Alice, haunted by the ghosts of her rural Irish childhood, knows its not that simple, but that she has to find a way out. In this powerful and hypnotic tale, William Wall traces the corrosive effect of a dark secret on a group of friends and lovers, and illuminates a shocking aspect of life in Ireland's recent past.
