Publisher's summary

Deirdre Weston, a London journalist, returns to her family home in Armagh to come to terms with the death of her mother. Faced with painful memories of her own past, Deirdre almost despairs of the task she has set herself. At the point of her deepest need, she is comforted by Deara, a mysterious young woman from fifth-century Ireland who draws her into the Druidic world of Tara, where the conflicts echo those of troubled 20th-century Ulster.

Boring

I had high hopes for this. While the performance was excellent, the story never picked up pace or drew me in to unfolding drama (was there any?). I finished to just to finish it.
