HoodHamish Hamilton, 1995 - 309 頁 "In the late 1970s, Penelope O'Grady and Cara Wall fall in love. As classmates at an Irish convent school, however, the two girls stand to lose everything in the name of their devotion. Yet Pen, spirited though vulnerable, and Cara, a free spirit who marches to no-one's drum but her own, together learn to answer the challenges that Catholic Ireland's close-minded culture levies against their same-sex relationship. Over the following years, their tumultuous romance, full of love and passion, desire and flight, survives attacks from the outside as well doubts from within and infidelities that call everything into question. Their bond strengthens until it seems as thought nothing could sever it. But now, nearly fifteen years after their first night together on the roof of the seminary, Cara has died in a car accident, and Pen must learn how to bear the pain of loss, how to come to terms with the dualities that underscore their deep yet turbulent love, and how to move on without her life-long partner."--Publisher's description |
