The Ante-room
by Kate O'Brien
€ 13.75
ISBN: 9781844083176
It is the Eve of All Saints, 1880, and Teresa Mulqueen lies dying. Her family gathers round her, and beneath this sad scene another drama, no less poignant, unfolds. In this house of stillness and shadow her daughter Agnes anxiously awaits the return of her sister Marie-Rose and brother-in-law Vincent.
She dreads their arrival because, in seeking refuge from their unhappy marriage, both husband and wife turn to her, and although Agnes adores her sister, she is secretly, passionately in love with Vincent: ahead lies a terrible battle between conscience and desire.
