Mary Lavelle, a young and beautiful Irish woman, travels to Spain to work as a governess and see a little of life before returning to Mellick to marry her fiance, John. Despite the impressive surroundings and her three charming charges, she finds life as a governess to the Areavaga family lonely. But with the arrival of the family`s brilliant but married son, Juanito, Mary finds her loyalties and beliefs challenged by his fiery politics and passion. With characteristic elegance and subtlety, Kate O`Brien, one of Ireland`s most beloved writers, illuminates the anguish and ecstasies of a young woman at the heart of a family and a nation divided.

Nacida  en  Tomgraney,  Irlanda, Edna O?Brian (1930) es autora de novelas y cuentos cuya acción transcurre generalmente en su país natal. Escritora polifacética y prolífica, cultiva también otros géneros ?poesía, biografía, literatura infantil, piezas de teatro y guiones? y es miembro honorario de la Academia Americana de las Artes y las Letras.
Sus  libros  han alcanzado un éxito notable, sobre todo en Estados Unidos. El San Francisco Chronicle ha dicho de ella que es «la  digna  heredera  de  sus  grandes  antecesores en la literatura irlandesa» y Le Figaro ha señalado que «el aliento de su lenguaje  es  comparable al de Faulkner». Entre los premios que ha recibido figuran el Irish PEN, por toda su trayectoria, el del  Gremio  de Escritores de Gran Bretaña, el Premio Cavour en Italia, la Medalla de Oro de las Artes en Estados Unidos y la Medalla Ulises.
