My Dream of You

Nuala O'Faolain

Set in Ireland and spanning a century-and-a-half, My Dream of You unfolds the compelling stories of two women and their quests for passion, connection, and fulfillment. On the brink of fifty, Kathleen de Burca is looking back at her life and asking questions about her choices. A globetrotting staff writer for the London-based TravelWrite syndicate for more than twenty years, she is used to living — and loving — on the run. After a quick round of blows, culminating with the sudden death of her cherished colleague and closest friend, Kathleen decides to leave her job and to rethink her life. Intrigued by a divorce case dating back to the days of the Potato Famine, she decides to try her hand at writing about it. The case, called The Talbot Affair, detailed the clandestine liaison lasting three years between the wife of a British landlord and an Irish servant in Ireland in the 1850s.
