Caroline, now a successful knitwear designer, spends her time flying between her business in England and her lover in Italy. As far as she's concerned, her school days, and what happened to her the year she left, should stay in the past. Eleanor, meanwhile, is unrecognisable from the fun-loving girl she was in school. With a son who is barely speaking to her, and a husband keeping a secret from her, revisiting the past is the last thing on her mind.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

First Time reader of Roisin Meaney
My first book by this reader and it certainly won’t be my last. I didn’t want it to end but I did also I loved this book. The story wasbeautiful .Roone was beautiful. I want live there with those wonderfully warm people with the soft Irish lilt My only complaint was also stated by a previous reader, it was sometimes hard to distinguish who was talking because everyone sounds the same. Having said that the narrator did read it beautifully with her soft easy to listen to voice. I would highly recommend.

Very sweet Irish romance.
Words that make you homesick for a place you’ve never lived and for people you have never met. A wonderful story of love lost and found. Reminds me of a young Maeve B. Hopeful and well told stories with great character development. All tied up with a neat bow.
Only challenge with audio book was knowing who was speaking what line. Narrator was great but reading dialog for males and females and all characters must have been a challenge that she met well but...not a deal breaker. Would listen again :)

Narration was awful! Story great.
The book and story were lovely and light hearted. Made me want to visit the island of Roon!
Nothing too heavy, just simple escapism.
The narration was all wrong, punctuation was ignored and generally made listening very difficult.

Can’t understand the need for OTT weddings!
I nearly didn’t keep reading as the first part was about wedding preparation and the importance of it being spectacular and costly.
However the characters and the island made the story so much better and kept me reading.
The setting was lovely.
Island living is not for everyone though.
If you want to be unnoticed- forget it.
