But while Britain becomes increasingly politically polarized, Aileen, Maureen and Oonagh discover conflict within their own marriages. Oonagh's dream of romantic love is countered by her husband's lies; the intense nature of Maureen's marriage means passion, but also rows; while Aileen begins to discover that, for her, being married offers far less than she had expected. Meanwhile, Kathleen, a housemaid from their childhood home in Glenmaroon, travels between the three sisters, helping, listening, watching--even as her own life brings her into conflict with the clash between fascism and communism. As affairs are uncovered and secrets exposed, the three women begin to realize that their guiled upbringing could not have prepared them for the realities of married life, nor for the scandals that seem to follow them around"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes reading group guide with discussion questions and author's Q&A. 650 0 $a Married women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scandals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wealth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Socialites $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen thirties $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044148.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025526.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014541.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20230902015239.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230711054224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF13D566EE2E11ED8D85606C28ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
