Great loves, great theatre roles and great betrayals. Michael Driscoll, the finest actor of his generation, is tempted by magnificent roles and manipulated when he accepts them. He reaches the dizzy international heights before his Faustian bargain catches up with him.

What Major John MacBride learns when leading the Irish Brigade in the Second Anglo-Boer War against the British Empire isn't much help when fighting his estranged wife in the French courts.

It's Ireland in the 1950s and they're both running away, Curly from failure as a dancer in New York and Mary from the utter boredom of Ballymalloy in the West of Ireland. The book probes the lives of several inhabitants of Ballymalloy and reveals some funny desires, efforts and strivings.
