Tara Road, by Maeve Binchy, hones in on the domestic relations of two different women, a Dubliner and a American, at low points in their lives.
Both women have enjoyed rich relations with family, but, as life sometimes happens, cataclysmic events occurred in each of their lives. Ria, in Dublin, accidentally takes a call from Marilyn, who wants to switch homes for the summer; which they do. Each learns more about the other's lives and their relationships.
Tara Road appeals to those who enjoy reading leisurely-paced women's stories richly loaded with detail.
