Not until fifty years later did he learn that they have a child." *** "Willie Quinton lives with his Protestant family and is shockingly thrown into the violence of the Irish 'Troubles' in 1918. With the sudden death of his father and siblings through an act of terrorism, he is brought up by a maid, Josephine, while his mother becomes a hopeless alcoholic and finally a suicide. He meets a cousin, Marianne, with whom he has a brief love affair. When she learns she is pregnant she tries to find Willlie but he has exiled himself because he has committed a crime of vengeance. Although the couple is finally united after long years of separation their happiness is marred.""
