Keelin at the beginning of the book is very comfortable. She's leading a sort of asexual existence just having her odd joint sitting on the windowsill. She's solitary, and she's set to sit there and teach in the school she went to as a kid and just take care of her mother. And the mother loves Aisling far more. I don’t want to give away the book...
