The Street Where You Live cover

A heartfelt, page-turning read filled with utterly memorable characters

'Roisin Meaney is a skilful storyteller' Sheila O'Flanagan

'Utterly irresistible' Irish Independent

When a heatwave coincides with rehearsals for an end-of-summer concert, temperatures soar - and small town scandals are around every corner . . .


It turns out that some members of the choir have secrets they are desperate to keep hidden.

Christopher, the handsome and talented director, is embroiled in a steamy affair with someone who is strictly off-limits; Molly has become obsessed with a young boy whom she's convinced is her grandson; while Emily has just fallen in love - with the wrong man.

As opening night approaches, it becomes clear that there are some tough decisions to be made. But until the curtain falls, you never know what might happen on The Street Where You Live.
