Description
In 1980s Belfast, twenty-year-old Eileen Hughes—quiet, observant, and hungry for stability—finds herself drawn into the orbit of the wealthy Bernard and Mona McAuley. As her employers’ attention turns intimate and possessive, Eileen is tested by temptation, secrecy, and the unsettling power dynamics of privilege. Brian Moore builds a tense, suspenseful portrait of desire and moral compromise, where every choice carries emotional and ethical consequences. With Moore’s sharp psychological insight and his gift for atmosphere, this novel explores themes of exploitation, self-determination, and the fragile line between being wanted and being controlled.
