Publisher's Synopsis
In 1920s Widows Peak, a small village in Ireland, the community is thrown into disarray with the arrival of a beautiful young widow. Joan Plowright plays the village matriarch, Mrs Doyle Counihan, who prides herself on knowing all the comings and goings in the community, and everything about everyone. Amongst the villagers is the shy spinster Miss O'Hare (Mia Farrow), whose past has more to it than meets the eye, and the newcomer Edwina Broome (Natasha Richardson), who forces all the skeletons out of the closets.
