This was a brilliant book not without its twists and turns and utter heartbreak

As usual Nadine completely delivers a book to curl up with on a rainy day

Excellent

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for an honest review. I have read Nadine Dorries books before and have always enjoyed the books, I did struggle to get into this book at first, I found the first quarter of the story hard going. I struck with it and enjoyed the book but I didn't love it. I liked the characters but didn't feel there was much happening through the story.

Excellent story. Wonderful characters and plot line. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this book.

Another wonderful saga by Nadine Dorries . This story is set in the 1940’a on the west coast of Ireland in a rural village called Tarabeg. I loved everything about this book , the description of the life led by the people in the village, the people themselves and how everyone looked out for each other . If you enjoy saga type books I totally recommend this. I was delighted to read this is the first book in a new saga by this talented author.

I have read all Nadine Dorries previous books and loved them, but just couldn't get into this and abandoned it.
Please go act back to Liverpool and the nurses

A brilliant first in a trilogy!!! Lots of tears and laughter!! A very strong story encompassing not just a family but the whole village!! Can't wait for the next one!! Thanks Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this book.

Excellent book strong story with strong charactors,well worth reading i never like to write much in a review as i hate spoilers.I will highly recommend this book another good book from Nadine Dorries.

As the first in a trilogy this is a gripping and enticing read!

Not so much a family saga as one encompassing a whole village, this is rich in details of living in a rural community. Life in Ireland hasn't been easy and most families find their offspring heading for the new world as soon as they can afford the fare. Such has been the case with the Malones until Michael, the youngest, signs up to fight with the British Army much to the chagrin of some of the locals who have a deep-set hatred of the English. Michael has been secretly romancing the daughter of one - much to her mother's delight but hidden from her father for fear of what reprisals he will take against the women.

This is a tremendously packed read; vividly described in such a way that it's easy to picture the village of Tarabeg and it's inhabitants. It is an addictive novel with plenty going on and certainly kept my attention glued to the story. Nadine Dorries writes with an easy, flowing manner which hooks me every time, and if you haven't read her other books I would strongly recommend catching up! Tarabeg is certainly somewhere I can't wait to visit again and find out what happens next in this truly wonderful tale.

My thanks to Florence Hare of Head of Zeus and NetGalley for providing my copy. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.
