Alice, a writer, moves to a costal town not far from her best friend Eileen, who works at a magazine in Dublin. The two women -- each navigating friendship, heartbreak, and torrid love affairs -- discuss their lives, the state of the world, and when next they will meet through lengthy letters. Amidst the tangled ties that connect four young people, Rooney contemplates the world today and the beauty that makes life worth living.
