Set in Dublin in the 1950s, this is the story of two women, opposite models both morally and socially, and their struggle to survive the amours of the Bishop of Dublin. Muriel Grey, his desperate book-keeper, allows him sexual liberties that cost her her freedom. Secrecy puts her on a collision course with reality, while deception and delusion generously facilitate the Bishop of Dublin. Attracta Rafferty, a servant in one of the grand houses he frequents, dazzles him. Brazen and unburdened by middle-class morals or scruples, she replaces Muriel Grey's doe-eyed devotion with devilment. Add to this mix the mischief of two of Dublin's more colourful prostitutes, and the dough of the story soon rises!
