Whispering Trees is the story of the tumultuous relationship between a mother and daughter in post war Ireland. One, a woman consumed with maintaining outside appearances no matter the consequences, the other, from childhood to adulthood, trying to keep both family and sanity intact. A relationship that directly and indirectly affects the lives of many others, sometimes for better, often for worse. It is both a compelling study of obsession verging on paranoia and of the courage of the human spirit in finding ways to cope with an increasingly untenable environment. Author Lena Lyle weaves a fascinating tale through time and changing fortunes, a tale of ordinary people presented with extraordinary circumstances and the sheer will of one person to rise above them.
