the long version

"When his wife dies, property developer Robert McGuinness views the event as his passport to sexual freedom and political success, only to discover that she has led a disturbing life that he knew nothing about, which throws into unflattering relief his domestic failures, his public amorality and his personal hypocrisy." "When shy teacher, Seamus Creedon follows a red-haired woman with a Galway accent, he little realizes how such a lightly undertaken and seemingly insignificant adventure will permanently change the whole course of his life." "This novel has much to say about political cynicism, steadfast heroism and deep commitment, against a backdrop of modern Dublin and the wild countryside of Connemara."--BOOK JACKET.
