"When Eve moves from Dublin to London to take up a job in a publishing house, she quickly becomes romantically involved with her boss. Their passionate relationship is fraught with tensions. Not only is Patrick eighteen years her senior, but his fiery teenage daughter, Kate, is far from happy that she has to share her father. That Kate inadvertently stirs up Eve's unresolved feelings towards her own father is an unforeseen complication." "Eve's flight from the confines of Ireland, her relationship with Patrick and her attempt to come to terms with the past, take her on a painful, but ultimately liberating journey of self-discovery through which she comes to understand that the need for independence and freedom is as powerful as the need for love."--BOOK JACKET.
