Resumen del Editor

Carmel, a forty year old Irish woman is living a life that’s fine, not exciting or awful, just fine. She has a house, a husband, it’s all ok. She never had kids, but that’s just life, right? She knows she should be grateful. She’s better off than a lot of people. Then one day, out of the blue, she gets a Facebook message, from a total stranger. With information that could transform her life, for better or for much worse.

It could be a scam. It could be malicious. It could be a crazy person. But what if what they say is true? Her finger hovers over the screen. Delete or reply?

Honesty of the characters!

The story was interesting. The protagonist was a gentleman and the antagonist appeared in so many forms.

Depressingly memorizing

As the story begins, Carmel is a very depressing character. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book. However, a chance connection sets in motion a major change to her life and the tone of the book. At the end of the book, Jean Grainger explains what inspired this story and it made me think about another possibility of why tracing one’s Irish Catholic roots can frequently run into dead ends. The scenario of this book is based on some very dark, quite recent, historical truths. Siobhan Waring nails the accents and voices of the wide variety of characters. I am super impressed by her talents. I cannot wait for the sequels to this book. I hope they are in the queue for Audible release with Siobhan as the narrator.

Lovely story, recommend it!

Superior narrator(s). Loved the characters and their development, this was a good listen.

We hope to get more in the series, it is especially good to listen to on long drives.
