About this listen

What would you sacrifice for your children?

Ballymor, Ireland, 1847

As famine grips the country Kitty McCarthy is left widowed and alone. Fighting to keep her two remaining children alive against all odds, Kitty must decide how far she will go to save her family.

Present day

Arriving in Ballymor, Maria is researching her ancestor, Victorian artist Michael McCarthy – and his beloved mother, the mysterious Kitty who disappeared without a trace.

Running from her future, it’s not only answers about the past that Maria hopes to find in Ireland. As her search brings her closer to the truth about Kitty’s fate, Maria must make the biggest decision of her life.

I loved this story! A unique tragic slice of life filled with old truth and current comprehensive elements most women can relate with! I was sad this story was over but it gripped and tangled me from page one! the narrator was superb! I look forward to listening to more books both by this author and narrator!

A beautiful heartbreaking slice of life!

Having lived in Ireland myself for over 14 years this book had catapulted me right back to it. The way it was written could make you easily imagine you were right there.
Both timeperiods were comprehensible and realistic and well written so that I could feel with the main character even if I not always understood her perfectly. Nevertheless the whole story is logical and well worked though I predicted some outcome.
Voice was brilliant and easy to listen to.
I can only recommend it.

Wonderful piece of art
