Product Description
Product Description
It’s 1945 and the war is finally over. For the Devlin family in Liverpool, the wartime years have been almost too much to bear. But at long last sisters Grace and Chrissie can return to their normal lives. Level-headed and hard-working, Grace wants nothing more than to meet a nice man and settle down. Vivacious Chrissie, though, craves fun and excitement – and there’s not much of that to be had in the austere post-war years. So when Chrissie meets Pat Kilroy, a handsome Irishman, she’s swept off her feet and eagerly follows Pat to Ireland. Chrissie soon realises she has made a terrible mistake, and Grace rushes to her side to help. But the consequences of Chrissie’s actions are to be as far-reaching as they are devastating.

My gut feeling about this audio-book was that it was too heavily abridged. I felt I was losing a lot of the interesting, character building detail, and just following the bones of the story. This just simply wasn't enough to hold my attention.
It is a shame that reviews for audio-books are not submitted separately because a poor abridgement affects the rating for all editions.
The central characters were two sisters, Chrissie and Grace, who had survived the war and were both ready for exciting new lives. Grace was ready to work hard, settle down and start a family with a loving man; Chrissie however, was more wild, inclined to rash decisions and rather selfish.
When one of their friends gets married, Chrissie spots a handsome young Irish farmer, Pat Kilroy, and immediately falls in love. True to character she is ready to rush accross the seas to him, with widespread repercussions on her whole family.
A rather typical story, with not a lot to offer. I have other books by Ms Andrews on my shelves so I will read my next book in hard copy to give the author a fair try.
Recommended for fans of Audrey Howard or Lillian Harry.

I started this book Thursday night and finished it Saturday afternoon. This is a very good book, fast pace and easy to read.
The characters come through very credible, particularly Grace, who you can't help but sympathise with, whereas Chrissie you could shake with frustration.
Would recommend this book. Gives a good idea of what Liverpool and Ireland were like just after the second world war.
