Review: "Joan Douglas has a tentative grip on the world. She's too trusting, cheery and straightforward, a woman who still keeps teddy bears on her bed. Joan is a carer, by nature and by profession. She is employed to look after Nina Rawle, a crisp, sophisticated woman who has been stricken by illness." "Nina's motives for employing Joan extend beyond her nursing skills. Nina's tangled past in Ireland, in which a single and terrible act of political passion wrought terrible destruction, casts heavy shadows on the present. How and, more importantly, why Nina is determined to reveal her secret history makes for a tense and twisting tale." "Marble Heart is an examination of innocence, passion and selfishness, and of how past actions can resonate through the years, haunting both perpetrators and victims."--BOOK JACKET
