'A page-turning novel filled with wonderful characters. Curl up and treat yourself to the perfect escape' Sinead Moriarty

'I can highly recommend this beauty, it's a gem! Book of the year so far for me. Utterly glorious, I'm telling everyone to run out and buy it!' Claudia Carroll

Ordinary people. Extraordinary secrets ...

It's business as usual in the sleepy town of Lissbeg on the west coast of Ireland, but, as local librarian Hanna Casey gathers material for an exhibition on Ireland's struggle for Independence, secrets revealed in her Great-Aunt's diary expose her own family history of love, dishonour and revenge. Will Hanna risk personal and professional fallout by keeping those war-torn secrets to herself, or will she honour the exhibition's spirit of shared storytelling?
Meanwhile, newly-wed Aideen has just had her first baby and becomes convinced that she needs to find her own dad, whom she's never known. But is she really prepared for the consequences?
Hanna and Aideen each face decisions and it soon becomes clear that, when old wounds are opened and forgotten memories disturbed, history is never just about the past. Will they discover that finding happiness is all about living in the present?
