GIRL WITH GREEN EYES

A young Irish farmgirl moves to Dublin to work in a grocery store and experience modern life in a big city. Her brash roommate tries to teach her how to flirt with boys. A middle-aged writer, new to Ireland and the countryside, becomes intrigued by Kate’s naïve attempts to be grown up and sophisticated. Her innocence reopens his heart to the possibilities of love after the disillusionment of marriage. This relationship may not be what Kate had dreamed of, but it offers her a chance to escape her strict upbringing and cultural ties. -- Chale Nafus
