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
