    Children of Eve

    Deirdre Purcell

    Formats & Editions

    At five o'clock in the morning, the phone rings in Arabella Moraghan's Dublin flat. The call is one she thought she'd never get: a message from the mother who abandoned her and her two siblings nearly forty years ago. They had thought Eve was dead. But she is very much alive - and wants to see her children.

    Hours later, Arabella is on a plane with her younger sister Willow - more successful, more brittle - while back in Dublin the search is on for their troubled brother Rowan. The sisters are met by an enigmatic stranger who drives them to the trailer park where he and a diverse group live alongside Eve.

    Is it too late for Eve to be forgiven? That is a question only her children can answer as they and their mother embark on an emotional rollercoaster ride towards the truth about their past.
