A lost girl. A mysterious house in Ireland. An invitation that changes everything. Twenty years ago, at the end of a hot long Irish summer, three sisters walk down to the cool lake at their home, Swan Hall. As Maeve and Aisling watch their beautiful younger sister Nuala laughing and splashing, it is hard to hide their envy of her. But later that morning, when Nuala drowns, they are devastated. Now, as Iris scatters the ashes of her beloved mother Aisling onto the golden leaves of Central Park, she feels very alone.

Don’t bother

This is not a good book. The writing is clumsy and forced, particularly in Nuala’s diary. The dialogue is dumb. The politics (with which I agree) are wedged in awkwardly. Worst of all, it may have ruined Aoife McMahon for me. I thought I could listen to her reading anything, but the accent she uses for Iris is whiny and grating - although that’s how the character is written, so maybe it’s not wrong.

Ugh.

Drivel. Formulaic stories, lazy, repetitive writing, annoying lead character. Worst of all, mistakes in continuity. The only reason I got as far as I did was that the narrator’s voice was a nice soothing Irish backdrop while I was doing other things.

Perhaps I will read this book myself.

I like the stories. I like the historical detail, the sometimes humorous dialogue and the structure of alternating characters, but I had to give up in the middle of chapter five. Fleur de Wit is a smooth reader with a pleasant voice, but the way that she voices the characters is excruciatingly bad. I would like to know the rest of the story, but I cannot fathom sitting through one more bad-muppet second of dialogue. Do yourself a favor and read the paper book.
