Time After Time

The Swifts--three sisters of marked eccentricity, defiantly christened April, May, and baby June, and their only brother, one-eyed Jasper--have little in common but some vivid memories of their darling mother and a long lost youth particularly prone to acts of treachery. Into their world comes cousin Leda from Vienna, a visitor from the past, blind but beguiling. Within days, the lifestyle of the Swifts has been dramatically overturned--and desires, dormant for so long, flame fierce and bright like never before. Molly Keane also wrote under the pen name M.J. Farrell; among her many timeless novels are "The Knight of Cheerful Countenance, Conversation Piece, Devoted Ladies," and "Good Behavior."

Author Bio

Molly Keane

Molly Keane was born Mary Nesta Skrine and grew up in County Wexford, Ireland, in an aristocratic milieu. Her novels concern this background almost exclusively. Originally she wrote under the pseudonym M. J. Farrell, feeling that the disrepute of being known as a writer would have brought embarrassment on her family. When her husband of five years, Bobby Keane, died, she found writing no longer held her interest. She resumed writing 36 years later with the novel "Good Behavior", which was a finalist for the 1981 Booker Prize. Keane died in 1996 at the age of 91.
