Iseult 'Izzy' Mulcahy is a mother and a woman in love, a writer and a thinker - and the last person anyone would expect to commit a murder...
After being charged with killing her father, rather than fight for freedom, Izzy escapes into the past - her own past and that of the famous Iseult Gonne, after whom she was named and with whom, in a strange way, she identifies.
Izzy has spent her adult life in America and it has given her independence, a dream to follow, and the two loves of her life - her daughter, Star, and her soulmate, Zach. But, like the other Iseult, Izzy always wanted to be a writer and was disabled both by burden of illegitimacy and a readiness to sacrifice ambition for love.
As Izzy sets down Iseult's story and unravels her own past, she comes to understand why she has returned to Ireland and the father she hated. But to her dismay, she also realises that when she stands up in court her testimony will have a devastating effect on the two people who mean the most to her...
