Penelope’s Irish Experiences

The table is set for three at a Dublin hotel, and there is not a man in sight. Penelope Beresford calls it “the most absurd thing in the world”—then begins to suspect they are characters in a book.

After earlier travels in England and Scotland, Penelope, Salemina and Francesca have gathered for an Irish holiday. But Penelope’s husband has been called back to America, Francesca’s Scottish fiancé is far away, and Salemina is keeping her friend company while she weighs the prospect of marriage. Penelope sees them as heroines in a third volume, their marriages and romances somehow leaving them the same old trio; Salemina objects to Penelope’s guesses about what comes next. With Ireland before them and the future refusing to follow anyone’s script, what will their next chapter bring?
