In this pivotal era, wealth and poverty coexist in stark contrast, with hospitals struggling to cope with pandemic disease and deaths that are not just due to natural causes. As a theatrical pianist, Jane's life is marked by her marriage to Edmond Verity, a celebrated actor, but also by the presence of Dr William Doughty, her former lover. When Edmond falls ill, he seeks the help of a physician with a secret passion - his racing stable. As Jane's fortunes begin to reverse, she must find a way to survive in a world where trust and deception are intertwined. This intricate novel explores the intersection of music, medicine, and lost love during a pivotal moment in Irish history, revealing a complex web of secrets and relationships that will keep you engaged until the end.
