Set in the West of Ireland, Birmingham, Dublin and Nice, five of these
stories explore our need to come to terms with the past. Three sisters,
Aefe, Fionuala and Sorcha, struggle towards a recollection and
resolution of the event which almost destroyed their family.
Tom and
Breda flee Derry for the safety of England and discover that history
casts a long shadow. Bridget, haunted by the past, takes the first
plane out of Birmingham and spends a life changing week in Nice. The
remaining seven stories which are located in Birmingham are laced with
humour and deal with the universal desire to be loved and to belong.
