In the decaying estate Temple Alice, the Anglo-Irish St Charles family upholds a rigid code of appearances. Aroon, the ungraceful daughter, sees how sex, jealousy and hypocrisy remain hidden behind good manners. A black comedy of manners where unconfessable desires eventually overflow conventions.

Recommended for readers of literary fiction and book clubs interested in Irish narrative and comedies of manners.
