Harlequin's Daughter

When Brigit Flood first sees Conor Byrne's paintings of his wife she is both fascinated and disturbed by them. When she meets Hannah in person, at Conor's studio home on the coast of County Clare, she begins to understand the tensions that made Conor's paintings so memorable - Hannah is clearly unstable, a thorn in the side of the small artistic community Conor has formed. Only Conor seems keen to welcome Brigit into their midst, despite her intention of bringing their work to a wider audience via a tv series. But Brigit, drawn to the charismatic Conor, is determined to make the most of the opportunity, little knowing what a nest of vipers she is stumbling into, nor what poisons they are capable of disgorging, not only from their own pasts, but out of Brigit's too.
