Louise, a middle-aged Irish emigrant, returns to Dublin for Christmas after 30 years living in New York City. While waiting for her son to join her, she visits a friend whose home overlooks an old monastery. The building reminds Louise of her youthful love affair with Peter, a Canadian monk, who at the time lived in the same monastery. The couple, like their predecessors in medieval times, shared a passionate but impossible love. Although it examines the serious subject of priestly celibacy, the novel has many humorous scenes as the lovers try to resolve their dilemma.

Cr�ticas

Mary Rose Callaghan hits the nail on the head every time in this sharply observed novel set in the zany world of semi-Bohemian Dublin a generation or two ago. That shabby city of gas meters, broken pay phones, lasagne and cheap wine, is recreated as never before. Young people pursue their heart-breakingly emotional, side-splittingly absurd love affairs in dilapidated bed-sits and seedy pubs, settings that seem as far away as the Middle Ages which are also evoked, cleverly, in the novel. This is a real tour de force. --�il�s N� Dhuibhne
