What is Eve's Cottage?

After Eve's parents died when she was an infant, she inherited a small cottage near the convent. The house is very important to the plot because it is the location Nan chooses to sleep with both Simon and Jack. It also becomes a gathering place for Eve and Benny's growing group of friends, bringing together their Dublin friends with those in Knockglen, and it gives Eve a sense of independence that she has never felt, having been raised in the convent.
