Description: Told in the first person, this narrative of Lilly Bere's life over seventeen days opens as she mourns the loss of her grandson. Lilly revisits her past, going back to the moment she was forced to flee Ireland at the end of World War I, and continues her tale in America, a world filled with hope and danger. At once epic and intimate, her story unfolds as Lilly tries to make sense of the sorrows and troubles of her life and of the people whose lives she has touched.
