Don't Ask About My Children

By Carmel McQuaid

Glamorous radiographer Eleanor can't believe her luck when fledgling hospital consultant, Eoin Staunton, takes a fancy to her... and duly woos and weds her. Set up in a dream house, she delights in her role as homemaker, hostess and stimulating companion - ever keen to justify Eoin's surprising choice of her as his spouse. Children arrive and she glories in the family life they provide, assuming a distinguished future for each of her lively brood.. Except that these four talented offspring go off in wayward directions that are a far cry from her and Eoin's ambitious expectations. Powerless, the distraught parents see their dreams shatter - amid small town Schadenfreude and gossip. At the end of her tether, seeking solace in the windy shores of Donegal, Eleanor gets to hear of a curse put on Eoin's family by a freedom fighter, two generations earlier. Musing over the startling tale, she seriously wonders if these happenings might have been responsible for landing them all so badly in the lurch.
