When Deirdre is orphaned at the age of fourteen, her elderly grandmother takes her from the remote island of her birth to the Enfant de Marie convent on mainland Ireland. Deirdre dutifully trains to become a nun, although it is not her true vocation. However, when Mrs O'Breen sees her for the first time, Deirdre appears to be the perfect choice for her son Manus: pious, graceful, meek and subservient.
But she is not really any of these things. In her heart, she is still the wild, headstrong island girl she once was; a girl who is unable to let go of the deep secret she has carried with her from the primitive Great Basket island . . .
