Read by Fiona Shaw.
Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be drawn back into it. Wounded, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning empathy and kindness.

Never caught the thread of the story submitted by sushai on June 16, 2019, 10:31am Many subplots connect characters and ideas in the book, but if anyone were to ask me the overall plot of the book I would say I don't know. Excellent writing and narration--only the story was missing.
