La Pena a Traverso La Storia Dei Popoli (1882)

Mick Cleary is a bright Dubliner in his early twenties; he is married with a child and works as a house painter. When Mick finds his birth mother, the result is not what he expects; Margaret is rich, beautiful and not yet forty. And as the relationship between her and her firstborn develops, they begin to experience distinctly unfamilial emotions.
