A tale of love and revenge told in the alternating voices of the two principal characters. Ann Martin has always believed she was born into the wrong family -- the only child of Irish nouveau riche parents whose tasteless, name-dropping loudness she hates. To exact revenge for her 'snobbery' they manoeuvre her into an abusive marriage with her father's brutish, wise-cracking business manager, Joey. But at her wedding reception, in February 1972, she is observed by an English journalist, Christopher Hunter, who is lunching at the hotel. He, a turbulent and withdrawn man, blooded in the savage intrigues of the Troubles, instantly falls in love with her. Thereafter, Christopher obsessively pursues his vision of possessing this beautiful and grave girl whom he has only glimpsed one bright winter day, though she does not even know he exists.

That said it was easy to read although I did skip ahead at several points because I knew what was going to happen. The spilt viewpoint made it easier in one respect, short chapters, but I've never had much interest in politics and would prefer to forget about the bloodshed of the troubles , so Andrews story didn't appeal to me. I also don't have much patience for women who just let things happen instead of standing up for theirselves or just walking away. So Ann made me want to slap her at times.
Other than that, it was well written and paced with a genuine plot twist at the end. ( )
