Straying : a novel

McCloskey, Molly 1964- (author.). McCloskey, Molly 1964- When light is like water. (Added Author).

Summary: Alice, a young American, arrives in the west of Ireland with no plans and no strong attachments - except to her beloved mother who raised her on her own. Before long, Alice falls in love with an Irishman, marries him, and settles down in a place whose customs she struggles to understand. Then, in the course of a single hot summer, she embarks on an affair that breaks her marriage and sets her life in a new direction. Years later, after working in war zones around the world, and in the immediate aftermath of her mother's death, Alice finds herself back in Ireland and contemplating the forces that led her to put down roots and then tear them up again. What drew her to her husband, and what pulled her away? Was she always unders surveillance by friends and neighbors who knew more than they let on? Was her husband strangely complicit in the affair?
