An Experiment in Love

Carmel McBain is born to an Irish Catholic, working-class mother. But her mother wants more than a life of drudgery for Carmel. She enrolls Carmel at a local convent school, and persuades her to take entrance exams for London University. And while Carmel succeeds, her success means she must leave her family, her faith, her class, and her sense of place in the world behind her. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
