A triumph' SUNDAY TIMES It's 1990 in London and, after the death of a young girl on an estate, the finger of suspicion is pointing at one reclusive Irish family- the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel- beautiful, other-worldly, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way.
