This story is a woman's confession about a life that could have been different, but became what it is. Since childhood, the heroine goes through a series of trials: from orphanhood to an early unsuccessful marriage. From a young age, watching everything closely, Frankie always seemed to be on the periphery of life. Now, at an advanced age, Frankie becomes an interesting storyteller. Damian, a nurse, arrives at her London apartment, with whom Frankie's memories wake up, and the past comes to life in her stories, and when Damian listens to her story, the reader is confronted with a whole turn-of-the-century era. Traveling from post-war Ireland to 1960s New York-a city full of art, incredible characters, and upheaval-Frankie shares a world where friendships and casual encounters are intertwined. Through the prism of stories from Frankie's past, life continues in other forms and in other people.
