Anotace knihy

A spongy, crowded romance, taking place mainly in Dublin from WW I to the aftermath of WW II, with more air holes than spring. Here, a woman learns - through childhood and youth - about love, both the nobly suffering sort and that lusty other. Lia's young father dies in WW I, leaving her elegant, fragile mother, Marie (not too fragile, however, to manage a grocery in their poor neighborhood), distraught and remote. Six-year-old Lia is then shouldered aside, her only solace being loving Gran and the jolly maid. Enter stepfather Burton, whose drunken abuse of Lia sends her out in the night to be tended by the Polish Jewish family of the medical student Tadek and his sister Laelia. It was Tadek who, in the child Lia's darkest hours, brought her tender love and sympathy. Through Marie's death, Burton's disappearance, and traumatic years at a convent school, Lia begins to see Tadek as an unattainable lifelong love - but Burton, who comes back like a bad, red-hot penny, offers Lia "a need rooted in that erotic feeling of a gift-child for a father." Their encounters, however - one while Laelia is having a child by Burton - are never resolved until Button's anti-Semitism flowers forth. Lia breaks with Burton and a prospective toff husband to follow her heart - to Tadek, to his friend Max, and to Max's saintly father - first to tragedy and then to a sunset ending. A chatty, confessional welter of passion - both dammed and damned - and a cozy-domestic and cross-cultural gab. Slick but serviceable for, say, an airport hour. (Kirkus Reviews)
