How charming she was in her uniform, her soft hair escaping in little tendrils from beneath her cap -- worn with such a becoming air . . .

He hated telling her that his mother was absolutely against their marriage . . .' Ireland, 1922. The Civil War rages and in its shadow, an extraordinary love story begins.
