Ireland in the 1920s. High on a hill overlooking the picturesque village of Kilshannon lays Widow's Peak, a cluster of houses owned by a gaggle of gossiping well-to-do widows. Ruling over them is the formidable Mrs. Doyle-Counihan (Joan Plowright), a wealthy matriarch who has buried two husbands and who prides herself on knowing all the comings and goings of Widow's Peak. Her wimpish son Godfrey (Adrian Dunbar), the only man allowed to live on Widow's Peak, is the most eligible bachelor in the area.

Among the women of Widow's Peak is Miss O´Hare (Mia Farrow), an impoverished middle-aged spinster, the only non-widow allowed to live on the Peak. For reasons unknown, Mrs. Doyle-Counihan and the other well-to-do widows have taken her under their wing. When Miss O´Hare is seen stepping out with the local dentist, Clancy (Jim Broadbent), it's a cause for much gleeful gossip.

Life in Widow's Peak goes on as normal until a young, glamorous war widow Edwina Broome (Natasha Richardson) arrives. Although the others, particularly Godfrey, are enchanted and impressed by this Americanised Englishwoman and her flamboyant behaviour. Miss O´Hare takes an immediate and outrageous dislike to her, setting the whole town to talking. Something most definitely is afoot in Widow's Peak, and only one woman knows the truth.

The beautiful score for Widow's Peak was composed by Carl Davis. Davis received international acclaim last year for collaborating with Paul McCartney on the classical piece LIVERPOOL ORATORIO. The British composer's score for WIDOW'S PEAK revisits the exquisite pastorals of HOWARD'S END. Also included is Vaughn Williams' FANTASIA ON A THEME BY THOMAS TALLIS which beautifully caps off this luscious soundtrack album.
