A secret she has held close in her heart. A secret about Evie's past that she has never shared with her daughter or granddaughter. A secret that transformed her life and made her into the woman she is today. A secret that had its origins on a day different from any other. It began in Dublin on May 7, 1945, when Evie was 14. Evie has never returned to Ireland after she left for America. It is time. I love novels written in dual timelines, connecting the present to the history of the past. In this beautifully written novel, time alternates between present-day and post-WWII Ireland. Individuals impacted by events of the period, relationships never forgotten, and oft as heart-wrenching as heartwarming, revealing the light of kindness, friendship, love, hope, and forgiveness, and the darkness of experiences wrapped in fear, cruelty, loss, survival, and secrets. Thank you to Cynthia Ellingsen, NetGalley, and Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read an eARC of this novel. This was on my Kindle and I picked it out as my next Kindle read, then I couldn't put it down. Evie's adventures with Harding in Ireland play out in counterpoint to Rainie's trip to Ireland with her sick grandmother. Poignant tales of love and loss and the value of friendship and family. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
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 request: 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.
