Women's Fiction
For two quietly unhappy years, linguist Claire Gallagher
has been living deep in the New Hampshire woods, enduring
a polite but strained marriage to a highly respected
scientist. Once a determined overachiever and academic
star in her own right, she now spends her days avoiding
her stalled dissertation and creating EZ crossword
puzzles. But for all Claire's knowledge of words and their
meanings, the meaning in her own life eludes her. One
bleak morning in winter, she announces that she's
leaving. By nightfall, at the urging of her younger
sister Noelle, Claire finds herself heading to the last
place she thought she would ever go: Ireland -- the
birthplace of her abrasive, chronically ill mother and the
country Noelle, a college dropout, now calls home. In a
small town on the Irish coast, Claire's struggle to move
ahead with her life takes her deep into the puzzles of her
past -- in a world in which there are no simple answers,
and the only questions that matter are those of the
heart.
