Queenstown, Co Cork. Ireland. 1916
Sixteen-year-old Harp Devereaux is growing up in a country in turmoil.
Her mother Rose is struggling to navigate single parenthood, run the Cliff House, and stay out of the way of the authorities.
Harp’s uncle, Ralph Devereaux, has only one thing on his mind.
The port of Queenstown bustles with activity as people traverse the Atlantic either in search of new lives on foreign shores or returning to old familiar ones in Ireland. The Cliff House is fast gaining a reputation as a wonderful place to stay, and the business is going from strength to strength. Rose and Harp have turned their fortunes around and for the first time they are prosperous and independent. But all is not well. Civil and military unrest across the country in the wake of the Easter Rising is threatening to bubble over, and everyone is on edge. The British soldiers are making their presence felt in unpleasant ways, and the return of Ralph Devereaux to what he sees as his ancestral home is poses a serious threat.
Just as they are managing the situation, a series of unforeseen events places both Harp and her mother in grave peril. Ralph suddenly holds all the power and is not afraid to wield it. They desperately need help, and there’s only one place they can go to get it.
From a tense Queenstown to the vibrant Irish community in Boston, from wartime Liverpool, to the streets of Dublin seething with revolution, The West’s Awake continues the spellbinding Queenstown Story.

The day Titanic sails from Queenstown, taking with it the hopes and dreams of so many, Harp’s life too is devastated. The small port town is shaken to its foundations at the loss of the unsinkable ship, but the revelation of a long-held secret means that Harp and Rose have a much more pressing issue to solve, one that could destroy them if they cannot find a solution.

Evan Evans is a young police constable who has traded in the violence of city life for idyllic Llanfair, a Welsh village tucked far away from trouble. Nestled among the Snowdonia mountain range, Llanfair looks to Constable Evans like a town forgotten by time, but he quickly learns that even the bucolic countryside has its share of eccentric - and deadly - characters.

Historia
Dr. Richard Buckley returns home to his wife and beloved hometown of Dunderrig, weary and heart-sick over the horror and pointlessness of The Great War. Soon, trouble is coming from all sides—Richard’s unhappy wife leaves Dunderrig, and a Nazi occupied Europe marches steadily closer to home. In the blink of an eye, the peace he’d craved and enjoyed since his days on the battlefield are gone. Meantime, James and Juliet come of age in a world on the brink of chaos, where the remnants of rebellion at home have snowballed into the horrors of yet another world war.

Wonderful trip into the past
Learning about history through the lives of fictional characters is fascinating. I would frequently take a break to Google the events mentioned or to play songs like “The West’s Awake” and “I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls” on YouTube.
I am always amazed at the quality of these narrations with different accents and voices to portray the various characters. Very well done, Jean and Siobhan! I am starting Book 3 of this series now.

Mother and Daughter bond
The meticulous character development at first seems slow, however, with this author the story always comes together with a long list of emotions. I enjoy the clever story telling and historic relevance in all of the Jean Grainger books. I also find them hard to put down.

50/50 read: Loved it/ wanted to return it.
The West’s Awake alternated between “can’t put it down” and “not sure I want to finish.”
The story of Harp going to America on a mission and of Rose and Harp’s villainous Father we’re highly interesting and full of twists. The reader was fantastic when she had the woman’s voice and the brogue, but the way the “mans”” voice sounded was off and comical. No normal man sounds like that . The beginning of the book with all the “woman’s rights” talk was boring and not too realistic for the time period. The politics may have been part of the story, but was not enjoyable. So not sure about getting the next in the series but it’s possible.

A lot of fillers and no substance
It seems the author ran out of material after the first book. Lots of repetitive material comes across is just fillers to make up the 7 hour duration. Didn’t bother to listen to the third book of the series.
