Publisher's summary

Dublin, Ireland 1915

Eighteen-year-old May Gallagher is beautiful but restless, and longs for the freedom to live her own life, to decide her own destiny. Mollycoddled as the only remaining child of middle-class parents in the suburbs, she sneaks out to the theatre when she can. She is mesmerised by the captivating actor Peter Cullen, and wishes she could enjoy a more bohemian life.

The Great War is taking all the boys away, and the promise that it will all be over by Christmas is ringing more hollow with each passing month.

Her parents would be appalled if they knew she’d befriended the enigmatic Peter, who was from the wrong side of the city, but there is something about him that intrigues May.

When catastrophe strikes Peter, it’s to May that he turns, and in that moment she knows her life will never be the same again.

New Characters, New Settings… Hooked Anew

I loved the new, internationally diverse cast of characters. The long Epilogue sounds like it is the intro to book 2 of this new series. I look forward to the new recordings. In the meantime, I am going to revisit some of the other series by Jean Grainger that are currently in my Library. I also saw that “The Tour”, the book that started it all for me, has been rerecorded by Siobhan Waring. I love listening to Siobhan (although the original recording of that book was wonderful as well).

Thanks, Jean, for opening my eyes to the history of Ireland as I enjoy time with your fictional characters.

For All the World

So I began a new series. I am a big fan of Jean Grainger, having “read” just about all of her books & series book doesn’t have a conclusion. You have to read on to the next book to hopefully draw some conclusions. Except there is a problem!! Book number 2 of this series is not available on Audible! Why put book number one on Audible when there was no intention of including book number two. Very disappointed reader!!
Well this
