Eileen Hughes, twenty years old and never before out of Northern Ireland, has arrived in London for a week's holiday with Bernard and Mona McAuley, who are not only her employers but also, she believes, her great friends. In Brian Moore's masterful handling, this seemingly simple story soon develops a depth that challenges the reader, exploring the nature of obsession—both spiritual and erotic—as well as the place of religion and morality in an age that seems to value neither.
