Surrounded by burnings and killings beyond the confines of the house, the Naylor and the Montmorency families and their guests are preoccupied by tennis parties and dances, only dimly aware that the world of the Anglo-Irish gentry is about to disappear. The novel is notable as a valuable document of this class in the dying days of English rule in southern part of Ireland

The film stars Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Keeley Hawes, David Tennant, Lambert Wilson, Jane Birkin and Fiona Shaw.
