Ireland. 1925.

The war is over. But life will never be the same...

Everything Santa Montefiore writes, she writes from the heart," says JOJO MOYES. See why in this unforgettable story of love, loss, and life, perfect for fans of DOWNTON ABBEY and KATE MORTON.

In the green hills of West Cork, Ireland, Castle Deverill has burned to the ground. But young Celia Deverill is determined to see her ruined ancestral home restored to its former glory -- to the years when Celia ran through its vast halls with her cousin Kitty and their childhood friend Bridie Doyle.

Kitty herself is raising a young family, but she longs for Jack O'Leary -- the long-ago sweetheart she cannot have. And soon Kitty must make a heartbreaking decision, one that could destroy everything she holds dear.

Bridie, once a cook's daugher in Castle Deverill, is now a well-heeled New York City socialite. Yet her celebrity can't erase a past act that haunts her still. Nor can it keep her from seeking revenge upon the woman who wronged her all those years ago.

As these three daughters of Ireland seek to make their way in a world once again beset by dark forces, Santa Montefiore shows us once more why she is one of the best-loved storytellers at work today.

Excellent series

I am enjoying the character development in these books.

An incredible and exciting installment to the Deverill Chronicles.

This book continues with following the Deverill's after the Troubles and the Great War are long over, following the family through the Great Depression and everyday life. Montefiore continues the series with incredible character development and plot twists. She pulls at your heartstrings as the Kitty, Celia, Bridie, and Jack continue their lives as adults. Romances, financial prosperity and ruin, and death all come into play in these pages that seem to fly by. Each character is developed into their middle ages as we follow their generation through family life, all the while Castle Deverill looms in the background as the ever foreboding and intricate character. I could not put this book down, and finished it in no less than a day!
