"To escape a recent heartbreak in New York, Grania Ryan returns to her family home on the rugged, wind-swept coast of Ireland. Here, on the cliff edge in the middle of a storm, she meets a young girl, Aurora Lisle, who will profoundly change her life. Despite the warnings Grania receives from her mother to be wary of the Lisle family, Aurora and Grania forge a close friendship. Through a trove of old family letters dating from 1914, Grania begins to learn just how deeply their families' histories are entwined. The horrors of World War I, the fate of a beautiful foundling child, and the irresistible lure of the ballet give rise to a legacy of heartache that leaves its imprint on each new generation. Ultimately, it will be Aurora whose intuition and spirit may be able to unlock the chains of the past. Sweeping from Edwardian England to present-day New York, from the majestic Irish coast to the crumbling splendor of a legendary London town house, The Girl on the Cliff introduces two remarkable women whose quest to understand their past sends them toward a future where love can triumph over loss."--P. [4] of cover.… (mehr)

Another very enjoyable read from Lucinda Riley. Loved the Irish setting. The environment is so real and alive. Enjoyed the characters and how they affected my emotions. ( )

Una figura diminuta y desclza al borde del acantilado, una melena pelirroja que se levanta con las ráfagas de viento, un vestido blanco hasta los tobillos... así es la niña la primera vez que Grania Ryan la ve. "Si le digo algo, podría asustarse y caer, pero igualmente la podría arrastrar el viento", piensa.
Grania se refugia en casa de sus padres en Irlanda, después de que la relación con su novio en Nueva York haya terminado. Allí entablará una íntima amistad con la niña, Aurora Lisle, y su padre, viudo.
Sin embargo, esta inesperada amistad se topará con un imprevisto: un profundo resentimiento entre las dos familias de cuyo origen nadie quiere hablar. ¿Podrá la joven del acantilado reconcilarlas y hacer que olviden el pasado?

Did not care for this book. It seemed predictable and cliche. Did not like the character of Aurora at all. ( )

“Every human being has a fascinating existence, with a big cast of good and evil characters in each.”
― Lucinda Riley, The Girl on the Cliff

The girl on the cliff sure has some beautiful cover art I must say.

This was an interesting read. It isn't my favorite book out there but it does tell a compelling story and is both well written and very moving.

I loved the ethereal aspect to this book. Even the cover has that component.

This story takes place on the coast of Ireland which I must say sounds breathtakingly beautiful. The setting was part of what really made this book interesting. I also really got drawn in and loved the character of Grania. The friendship she forms with the girl on the cliff was poignant and it was a very touching story. And (for me anyway) it is not at all the kind of book you can DNF once you start because you so want to know what happens.

So why a three rating? Well it was a bit difficult to follow at times. It also does move a bit slowly but at no point did I consider not finishing it.

There were a few events that happened that were a bit out of a soap opera concerning Grania's love life but that really did not detract from the story.

SPOILERS:

Did not expect that ending and it was quite sad..and I have to say I did not like the ending as I am sure many readers didn't. The whole book had a bittersweet quality. I will also say it was slow to start but don't give up on it because it has a nice slow buildup and once you become interested you might find yourself lost in it. I did. ( )

As is usual with Lucinda Riley's novels, it's great story telling. We have strong female characters, a family history that reaches back about 100 years, and somehow, history seems to repeat itself. Or does it?

Grania has some decisions to make, but emotionally, she isn't really in a fit state to make the right ones. It doesn't help that her mum keeps warning her, but takes much too long to tell her why she shouldn't do what she does. What about Aurora and her dad -- do they have sinister motives?

Grania will find out, even to the point of no return.

Gerri Halligan as narrator was excellent. I had all the various characters right before my inner eye, and having their voices in my head made the story even more compelling. ( )
