I must get married, and I will, nineteen-year-old Evelyn decides. It is 1969. Evelyn is pregnant. Around her, the staid values of an older Ireland still rule. "Decently" married, she finds herself beset by doubts about her love for her husband Liam, and the temptations posed by other men. In interlinked stories, we follow Evelyn through her marriage, and the birth of her children, to the break-up of the hard-worked-at union - and into the beginnings of a new relationship. Poignant storytelling from a wonderful writer.

Magic and colour abound for Jacqueline Clancy in the small town of Tooradulla, until her mother Imelda suddenly dies. Neither she nor her siblings are told the truth, and she retreats into a fantasy life. Soon it appears that her small town is about to expel her - until Jacqueline attempts to get rid of the usurper.
