Penelope O'Grady and Cara Wall are risking disaster when at a Dublin convent school in the late 1970s, they fall in love.
Yet Cara, the free spirit, and Pen, the stoic, craft a bond so strong it seems as though nothing could sever it: not the bickering, not the secrets, not even Cara's infidelities. But 13 years on, a car crash kills Cara. Pen is still in the closet, teaching at her old school, living under the roof of Cara's gentle father, who thinks of her as his daughter's friend. How can she survive widowhood without even daring to claim the word? Also check out Emma Donoghue's other books.
