Can four women lay their pasts to rest? Or do they need to look back before they can begin to live for the future? Tess is happy with her life: she lives in the idyllic Irish coastal village and works in the local antiques shop. Suki, Tess's sister, fled Ireland years ago to marry a politician, but now a biographer is planning to tell all, there is only one place she can go to ensure that her secrets stay hidden. Danae is the village post mistress and she's worked very hard to make sure nobody knows where she came from or who she is. In Galway, Mara sits with a smile glued to her face at a wedding.
