This is a simple and quiet story of a summer love between former convent-raised foundling, now farmer’s wife Ellie Dillahan and bicycle-riding, quasi-photographer Florian Kilderry. Their affair develops quite innocently but affects several characters quite profoundly in the small town of Rathmoye, Ireland. Trevor’s writing is subtle and restrained, yet he manages to capture the essence of each characters’ deepest emotions.
