(Annabel Davis-Goff delivers the story of Molly Hassard, an Anglo-Irish orphan coming of age in a formerly privileged society. As the Protestant-Irish emerge from the postwar years, they refuse to face the inevitable: They have beautiful homes, but can scarcely afford to heat them. When Molly flees the genteel poverty of Ireland for London on the 1960s, she must balance the allure of the new against the romance of a world that no longer exists.).
