Evacuated from Blitz-battered London, shy and genteel Elizabeth White is sent to stay with the boisterous O`Connors in Kilgarret, Ireland. It is the beginning of an unshakable bond between Elizabeth and Aisling O`Connor, a friendship which will endure through twenty turbulent years of change and chaos, joy and sorrow, soaring dreams and searing betrayals. Writing with warmth, wit and great compassion, Maeve Binchy tells a magnificent story of the lives and loves of two women, bound together in a friendship that nothing could tear asunder - not even the man who threatened to come between them forever.
