For as long as Lucy can remember she-s been caught between love for her rootless, idealistic mother and devotion to her fierce and exacting sister, Bea. From their unsettled childhood to their restless teenage years - hitchhiking through rural Ireland, the move to a communal house - she-s been forced to make a choice.
But as the girls come of age and embark on their own experiments - in love, drugs, work, motherhood - Bea is in danger of drifting further and further away. Can their loyalty to one another transcend the damages of a past that has become almost too dangerous to examine?
