Forgotten Country

The O'Brien Tales, Book 12

De: Stacey Reynolds

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

The love between Aoife and David O'Brien has served as a beacon for generations of O'Briens. But they weren't always the matriarch and patriarch of the large family in County Clare.

Aoife Kerr lived a simple life in Donegal. The forgotten county at the northern tip of Ireland. Surrounded by friends and family, she never thought much about life beyond the port city where she was born. But one never knows what the sea wind will blow their way.

David O'Brien and his brother take positions on a sailing crew, making deliveries along the western coast of Ireland. After a challenging trip from Galway to Killybegs, David finds himself inside the shop of a master tailor and his stunning young assistant.

Amidst the oppressive church presence and the economic depression of the 1950s, two lovers and a band of beloved friends will endure tragedy, heartbreak, and the tense political climate of their beloved country. Friendships, faith, and a budding love affair will be brutally tested before they begin a beautiful journey that will withstand the test of time.

grab the tissues

I've read all of the O Brien tales. I love them all. Justine was absolutely the best choice for these books. I cried thru this entire book. It was like walking down memory lane with my own granny. Well done. Waiting for the next one!!

The Best one yet!

This was a heart wrenching story! I can not wait to see where this story goes next!

Best Book Yet

I loved Stacy Reynolds’s treatment of loss, as well as the challenges of women in 1950s rural Ireland. And I can’t wait for her next book!

My favorite O'Brien book

Up to this point The Wishing Bridge was my favorite book in the O'Brien Tales series. Forgotten Country was every bit as wonderful. The back and forth between the 1950's to present day wove the beautiful story together perfectly. Highly recommend.

True love endures

Once again Stacey Reynolds takes us on a beautiful, loving journey filled with wit, passion and history. I cried so much during this book. Heart wrenching and heart warming. Love the O’Brien’s and how Justine Eyre brings them to life. 5 stars were not enough!!!

Loved the whole series. This one should’ve come with a box of kleenex. The story will stay with me…

Not prepared for the choking tears!

I’ve loved EVERY book in this series and have listened several times to each but this one has been my favorite. Aoife’s and David’s story is beautiful from start to heartbreaking end. My heart wrenched when it was beautiful Aoife’s time. This series HAS TO BECOME a television series and the characters brought to life! Stacey Reynolds has written a treasure!! Thank you for 12 amazing stories and please don’t ever stop.
