More about the book

"Josie is a widow living in a remote old house outside an Irish village, possessed by memories of her troubled marriage and one clandestine love affair. Her solitude is violated by the arrival of an escaped IRA terrorist, McGreevy, a bloody crusader for a united Ireland, who has chosen her beautiful home for sanctuary as he plans a new action. Their coexistence--a hostile standoff at first between the yearnings of an elderly woman whose youthful joy was broken and the intransigent idealism of her captor--evolves into something far more ambiguous."-- Back cover
