A Woman's Love

Pádraig Standún

Bright and beautiful Therese is an assertive executive in Galway. Bridle, a battered wife whose husband John is in an English jail, is Therese's housekeeper. When John is released, he returns to Galway hoping to reclaim his wife and his son. But the relationship between the two women has changed and developed into a tender, puzzled love. They have become friends, almost lovers, and joint female parents to a much-loved child. When Bridle rejects John, he wreaks his revenge on both women by circulating rumors about their 'unnatural behavior.' This gives readers another insight into the difficulties women encounter when they make different and unusual choices.
