  Joseph O'Connor (1) 

• Suíomh

  The action takes place during the day and into the night of Christmas Eve, some time in the future.

• Achoimre

  In an attic room far above Dublin, in the not too distant future, three old women are perched together like rare and endangered birds. Sister Veronica, Mother Bernard and Sister Eugenia Barker have spent thirty years in this strange institution, watching through their window as the city far below has forgotten them. But as this Christmas Eve dawns, fate is about to intervene with shattering consequences, and the world they thought so still is on the brink of being changed forever.
