‘She was . . . marvellous’ GUARDIAN

‘I admired many authors. But Molly, I loved’ DIANA ATHILL

‘Keane’s distinctive blend of elegant savagery and deep affection’ EVENING STANDARD

To Ballinrath House, where purple bog gives way to slate-coloured mountains, comes Allan to visit his Irish cousins. No sooner has he arrived than he falls in love with Cousin Ann, though it seems that she only has eyes for Captain Dennys St Lawrence.
