Synopsis
"My mother was never easy in the world of houses. She was a tinker, a traveler girl who had married a wealthy man. Her name was Agatha Sheehy....There are silences all around my mother's story." So begins The Nature of Water and Air, set on a patch of Irish coast where, amid a flurry of whispers, we meet Agatha's only surviving daughter, Clodagh. Determined to secure her mother's elusive love and the truth about her, Clodagh is swept into a relationship with a handsome, isolated man. He brings her to the heart of her mother's story, where she must confront the questions "Does a truth change love?" and "What madness will come from chasing a secret?" Powerfully sensitive, this startling debut novel about forbidden love will place Regina McBride among our most celebrated novelists., "My mother was never easy in the world of houses.

    Arrived today surprisingly after so short a time. Well put together and compact for a heavy package. This end mill bit would have originally had its own packaging but as typical that was long gone. Seller had carefully wrapped this super sharp cutter just right to avoid damage to it or to me. I could never buy anywhere else at this good deal. Looking forward to doing business again.
