Synopsis

It's 1945 and the war is finally over. For the Devlin family in Liverpool, the wartime years have been almost too much to bear. But at long last sisters Grace and Chrissie can return to their normal lives. Level-headed and hard-working, Grace wants nothing more than to meet a nice man and settle down. Vivacious Chrissie, though, craves fun and excitement - and there's not much of that to be had in the austere post-war years. So when Chrissie meets Pat Kilroy, a handsome Irishman, she's swept off her feet and eagerly follows Pat to Ireland. Chrissie soon realises she has made a terrible mistake, and Grace rushes to her side to help. But the consequences of Chrissie's actions are to be as far-reaching as they are devastating.

Was it because......more

It is a good book. I really loved it! It shows that being impatient is not right. You have to think before making decisions. It is better to know what you are getting yourself into before diving in. It also tells that it is better to try than not trying. It is a book about the lives of sisters after......more

Review for the Abridged Audio version. My gut feeling about this audio-book was that it was too heavily abridged. I felt I was losing a lot of the interesting, character building detail, and just following the bones of the story. This just simply wasn't enough to hold my attention. It is a shame that......more

I had to put it down solely for the story. No person is perfect, no person is full of flaws. Grace was too perfect for me. I absolutely despise the road Grace and Pat were on. Especially with the relationship they shared. It was too much for me.......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on October 07, 2011

I really enjoyed this book, I love it when there is a life lesson to be had. A book that makes you question your own life and people behaviour around this. I loved the two main characters more so for Chrissie. A good read for a cold winter night.......more
