Summary Note |
When Alice and Joseph meet, they fall quickly into a tentative but sincere realtionship. She is a nurse, he a house painter, and while both are still young and hopeful about this new love, each of them carries an emotional burden. Alice's father has been a yawning absence all her life, and just recently her beloved grandmother passed away. For his part, Joseph refuses to speak about his experiences as a soldier in North Ireland, and Alice suspects that his general reticence hides an even more deeply troubled past. |
