Large Print
May, 1959: St Brigid's is a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. It is barren and its small community is dwindling. But according to rumour, it is a magical place, home to a healing well. Two sisters, Rose and Emer, have resisted the call of the mainland. Rose is beautiful, blessed with love and many children. Emer is unlovely, and worse still, cursed by the strange currents that run through her fingers. When an outspoken American named Brigid arrives in search of a miracle, she is initially shunned, as the islanders keep their secrets close. But as the months pass and Brigid carves out a place on the island and in the sisters' lives, a complicated web of betrayal, fear and desire culminates in one shocking night that will change the island, and its inhabitants, forever...
