We are going to talk if you please in the ensuing chapters of what was going on in Chapelizod about a hundred years ago.

"Only connect" is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels and the lower-middle-class Basts.
