Growing up unhappily in post-war rural Ireland, Bernadette is disliked - for reasons she cannot understand - by her parents, and a has a running feud with her sister.
She makes her escape to Birmingham, where her sister Deirdre has settled with her husband. There the difficult relationship between the two sisters is further strained when Bernie discovers how Deirdre is living.

All the time she carries on a bizarre and angry dialogue with God.
