Summary

It's 1925, and Patricia, Tara and Aideen couldn't be more excited to be starting a new life in Liverpool. Yet it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems, for the girls are hastily swept onto a huge ocean liner heading to New York. When their father vanishes midway across the Atlantic, the grieving sisters prepare themselves for a new life in the big city. For whatever their father was running from has every chance of catching up with them....

A little disappointing.

Story starts great and has some good highlights but not as good in second half plus ends very abruptly. A bit disappointing and not as good as other Maureen Lee books.

easy listen

Get lost in the story of 3 sisters and how different their lives are but how close they remain.
A story of love, family, heartbreak and reality in 1930s-1940s.

The Reader I thought was excellent

The story line was great. Nice characters, Not too many people in the story, easy to “get to know them” Interesting parts of the world involved.

What a beautiful story

Yes it had its ups & downs but the story of this family was so amazing, I was a bit surprised by the end with Adeen, but can't say anymore. The characters of this ever growing Kelly family were up to all sorts. I have to wonder if Noreen ever knew any people just like this. So we'll written & narrated. Thank You.
