About this listen

An unhappily married woman is having an affair with her English tenant in rural Ireland. When a social event brings them all together for the day, the ensuing tension sees not only the affair come close to being uncovered, but the truth of a darker, long-held secret – and the reason for the woman’s loathing of her husband. Set in the aftermath of The Troubles, this is a tightly-woven story of betrayal and secrets and their impact on family lives.
