註釋
"And to my daughter in France... I bequeath the remainder of my Estate." These words, read from the will of Irish academic Richard Kirwan, stun his grieving children. Across the channel, 24-year-old Solange de Valnay's perfectly ordered world is shattered. Is the man she calls "papa" not her father? Her mother is dead, and Solange resolves to spurn her Irish half-siblings. But the truth won't go away, and the Kirwan children and Solange must overcome their differences and confront the past. An extraordinary tale of doomed passion, of heroism during the second world war, of sacrifices made for love and for honour, reveals itself in ways that resonate to the present. To My Daughter in France... is a sweeping historical drama that moves between occupied Paris, the coast of Connemara and the vineyards of the Languedoc region of southern France in the 1970s.
