Ria lived on Tara Road in Dublin with her dashing husband,
Danny, and their two children. She fully believed she was
happily married, right up until the day Danny told her he
was leaving her to be with his young, pregnant girlfriend.
By a chance phone call, Ria meets Marilyn, a woman from
New England unable to come to terms with her only son's
death and now separated from her husband. The two women
exchange houses for the summer with extraordinary
consequences, each learning that the other has a deep
secret that can never be revealed.
Drawn into
lifestyles vastly differing from their own, at first each
resents the news of how well the other is getting on. Ria
seems to have become quite a hostess, entertaining half
the neighborhood, which at first irritates the reserved
and withdrawn Marilyn, a woman who has always guarded her
privacy. Marilyn seems to have become bosom friends with
Ria's children, as well as with Colm, a handsome
restaurateur, whom Ria has begun to miss terribly. At the
end of the summer, the women at last meet face-to-face.
Having learned a great deal, about themselves and about
each other, they find that they have become, firmly and
forever, good friends
