Bridget Whelan

A Good Confession

Brighton based writer

When sweet-talking Mick Brogan dies, his young wife Cathleen struggles to bring up their daughters in a few rented rooms in 1960s North London.  She is comforted by Father Jerry, her husband's cousin and a priest generally acknowledged by the Irish community to be both a saint and the spit of Gregory Peck. As their friendship develops, Cathleen fears that they are growing too close. Hoping that confession will ease her troubled mind, she says the things that can't be said anywhere else - not realizing that she is confessing to the man she loves. When a tragedy forces Cathleen back to Ireland, she must face the truth and accept the consequences of a forbidden love . . .

"Bridget Whelan writes in the great Irish tradition of storytelling.  A Good Confession is an unputdownable, compelling love story about the conflict between passion and duty." Miriam Stoppard
