| Synopsis: |
Ria
Lynch and Marilyn Vine have never met. Their lives have almost nothing in
common. Ria lives in a ramshackle house in Tara Road, Dublin, a house
filled day and night with family and friends on whom she depends. Marily
lives in a college town in Connecticut, New England, absorbed in her
career, an independent and private woman who is very much her own person.
Two more unlikely friends would be hard to find. Yet each is struggling to
deal with a crisis that threatens to overwhelm her. When a chance phone
call brings them together, they decide to exchange homes… and over the
course of the summer, they find themselves borrowing something of each
other's lives, until a story which began with loss and suffering grows
into a story of discovery, unexpected friendships and new hope. |
