Summary

A woman faces the past she fled in a heart-stirring novel about unforgettable love and indomitable courage by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper。

Rainey’s grandmother makes a startling Take me home。 To Ireland, the country she fled post–World War II。 Though they’re inseparably close, Rainey knows few of her grandmother’s secrets。 Until they arrive at Aisling—the majestic estate on the southern coast of Ireland where her grandmother was raised—and Rainey discovers a collection of seventy-year-old letters in a trunk。

Dublin, 1945。 The Germans surrender, celebrants crowd the streets, and fourteen-year-old Evie meets her best friend, the spirited Harding McGovern。 Years on, they are more like sisters when rumors begin that Harding works in the black market trade—a source of wealth that could give her a dream life in America but could also cause great danger。 Evie is uncertain of the truth but will stand by Harding, whatever the cost。

As Rainey uses the letters to reunite her grandmother with the past, what unfolds is a never-forgotten story of family, friendship, and love, and the healing that comes from letting go of secrets。

I loved this book。 With the never ending stories out about World War II, it’s intriguing to learn about the lingering after effects of the war on a neutral country like Ireland, and how choices people made during that time ripple through the lives of their families for generations。 I never realized the hardships of shortages and tangled loyalties impacting Ireland after the war, which fueled “The Troubles” to come。When Rainey’s grandmother Evie becomes ill, she asks to return to her home country I loved this book。 With the never ending stories out about World War II, it’s intriguing to learn about the lingering after effects of the war on a neutral country like Ireland, and how choices people made during that time ripple through the lives of their families for generations。 I never realized the hardships of shortages and tangled loyalties impacting Ireland after the war, which fueled “The Troubles” to come。When Rainey’s grandmother Evie becomes ill, she asks to return to her home country of Ireland, insisting that she must find some mysterious letters。 Rainey travels with her, leaving behind her own mess of a start-up biochemical company, and her busy mother who seems happy to leave Evie in Rainey’s care。Their journey reveals secrets that have impacted three generations of her family, and show how the bonds of female friendships can become as close as family。 Cynthia takes us on a journey to Ireland that felt both surprising and inevitable, with the characters emotions resonating with my own feelings around grief and secrets families hold。 And the ending is just beautiful。 。。。more
