  • "L'héroïne est une jeune Irlandaise qui quitte un milieu familial étouffant, visite l'Europe, amorce une carrière d'écrivain et revient au pays, atteinte de leucémie, pour son dernier Noël."
  • "Constance Keating is dying of Leukemia, and knows that the time has come to make sense of her life. Outside, it is winter, and the demands of the present lie heavily upon her. Inside, inspired by the little blue lights on the Christmas tree, she anticipates her salvation. All her life, Constance has been learing how to live - to her, unsatifactorily. Running away from her native Dublin and repressive childhood, she discovers that it is not so easy to escape from her past. Now she has to find a patern, finally to decide on the explanations. Moments she thought she had forgotten invade her memory; her mothers bridge parties, walks in the park, a teenage dance. So do other images, closer to her heart: her endeavours to become a writer in London; her brief affair with a middle-aged Jew in Italy; the birth of his child - attempts to immortalise herself."
