Description
On Coronation night, the ex-pat community in Hong Kong gathers for a celebration party, and while they strain to listen to the wireless, twenty-one-year-old Joy falls in love at first sight. She is engaged within 24 hours, but will not see her fiancé again for a year.
In 1980, eighteen-year-old Patricia's rebellion is to run away from County Wexford with her illegitimate child.
Fifteen years later, Sabine leaves trendy Hackney to visit the grandparents she doesn't know and finds that time in Wexford seems to have stood still.
When Sabine, her mother, and grandmother are brought together, not only is a deeply buried family secret discovered, but also some fundamental truths: about the conflict between love and duty, about women's choices, and about mothers and daughters.
