Reseña del editor:

Set in 1950s Dublin, THE OTHER CHEEK tells the story of the Tracey family of Mallow Hall. Martha Tracey, the mother, is widowed, and from her first marriage has a daughter, Lydia D'Abru. From her second marriage, to Thomas Tracey, she has two sons, Austin and Roland. Lydia helps her mother with the family business, D'Abru's Fine Chocolates, which has a smart shop in Dublin where exquisite hand-made chocolates are sold. Austin works for Pius Grady, the family solicitor, and Roland is a student at Trinity. Whereas Lydia is kind-natured, the two boys are 'messers' - Austin envious and mean, Roland a wastrel. When Martha dies of cancer Pius alters her will so that he and the boys have a share of the busines, which they sell. Instead of seeking revenge, Lydia turns the other cheek, confident that she can still be happy, and indeed the men's sins are eventually found out - by fate - and punished ...
