In this debut novel, Jessica Regan becomes the voice of every woman who has ever struggled for personal freedom amid limited choices. Set in the mid-nineties in Ireland, the story focuses on three women who are in troubled marriages. With divorce illegal at the time, they labor to make their own choices--despite the men who control them and, ultimately, the outcomes of their lives. Regan's narration is nonjudgmental; she portrays each woman with strength in the face of oppression. All three persevere despite their feelings of hopelessness. Regan portrays the husbands as stiff, stern, and unmovable--with just the right amounts of bravado and bluster to stir indignation. Even in current times, this is a relevant and cautionary story.
