Hannah, May and Eleanor are sisters whose early life in Dublin with their middle class parents has prepared them for a comfortable future of marriage, children and servants. Further north, Mary and Cecilia are also sisters, struggling to make a living in the linen mills of Belfast amid rising political tension. The lives of all the sisters are destined to unfold in ways that none of them could have imagined. In her second novel, Catehrine Dunne cleverly creates two very different Irish families whose lives eventually intersect amid the growing political turmoil in Belfast of the late 19th century.
