Het afsluitende vierde deel van de Deveril serie (hoewel je dat nooit zeker kan weten, er is nog van alles mogelijk). En ik heb net met tranen in mijn ogen de laatste bladzijdes gelezen. Het verhaal van Arethusa Deverill, vertelt via haar dagboek aan haar dochter Faye, is pijnlijk en zou in deze tijd ook niet zo makkelijk meer voorkomen. Dat hoop ik tenminste. Het verhaal is een 9 waard, maar het wordt een 8 doordat ik me wel gestoord heb aan aantal herhalingen van bepaalde zinnen die regelmatig voorkomen. Faye vertelt namelijk steeds weer dat je nu maar eens moet gaan doen wat ze zelf wil en niet wat anderen vinden dat ze moet willen. Dat werd best irritant.

"Arethusa Clayton has always been formidable, used to getting her own way. On her death, she leaves unexpected instructions. Instead of being buried in America, on the wealthy East Coast where she and her late husband raised their two children, Arethusa has decreed that her ashes be scattered in a remote corner of Ireland, on the hills overlooking the sea. All Arethusa ever told Faye was that she grew up in a poor farming family and left Ireland, alone, to start a new life in America as did so many in those times of hardship and famine. But who were her family in Ireland and where are they now? What was the real reason that she turned away from them? And who is the mysterious benefactor of a significant share of Arethusa's estate? Arethusa is gone. There is no one left to tell her story. Faye feels bereft, as if her mother's whole family has died with her. Leaving her own husband and children behind, she travels to the picturesque village of Ballinakelly, determined to fulfil her mother's last wish and to find out the reason for Arethusa's insistence on being laid to rest in this faraway land."--Publisher description.

Three years have elapsed since I read the earlier volumes, in rapid succession. I regret that I don't remember the intricacies of the complex plot as thoroughly as I would like. I found myself recognizing minor characters' names and thinking, "Oh, yes, that's the one who had twins" or whatever, but not recalling details of how the characters fit into the current narrative. Some of the backstory is provided, but it's only enough for the present one to make sense--sort of on a need-to-know basis. I encourage readers who are just starting the series to read the books straight through, in order, and also to be alert that some volumes have different titles in the U.S. from those published in Great Britain.
