'A wonderful storyteller' Ciara Geraghty

'Meaney is utterly credible, utterly authentic, utterly irresistible' Irish Independent


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

Another summer is in full swing on Roone, an island off the west coast of Ireland, and preparations are underway for a big birthday party at the local hotel. But before then, love and friendship will be tested ...

Who is the stranger who arrives at Imelda's door, just weeks after her world falls to pieces?

How long can Eve hide her secret from Andy?

And will Nell and Laura's friendship survive the storm that's about to hit the island?

Praise for Roisin Meaney - :

A cracking yarn ... Meaney can excavate the core of our human failings and present it to us, mirror-like on the page ... Which makes her utterly credible, utterly authentic, utterly irresistible - Irish Independent

A real treat ... [Meaney's] ability to weave stories around a seemingly random cast is simply uncanny ... she wraps her readers in the company and comfort of ordinary strangers - Sunday Independent

Meaney weaves wonderful feel-good tales of a consistently high standard. And that standard rises with each book she writes - Irish Examiner

An addictive read with engaging, flawed characters and a unique writing flair that pulls you into the plot from the very beginning and keeps you entranced to the very end - Books of All Kinds

A thoughtful, engrossing read. Warm and insightful. Roisin Meaney is a skilful storyteller - Sheila O'Flanagan

It's easy to see why Roisin Meaney is one of Ireland's best-loved authors ... Should you spot this on a bookshelf, grab a copy - Bleach House Library

Roisin Meaney has once again done herself proud and written a book that should feature on many people's reading lists for this summer ... Do yourself a favour and buy this book - Shaz's Book Blog
