The Godmothers

De: Monica McInerney

Narrado por: Nikki Shiels, Ella Scott Lynch, Annie Maynard

Eliza Miller grew up in Australia as the only daughter of a troubled young mother, but with the constant support of two watchful godmothers, Olivia and Maxie. Despite her tricky childhood, she always felt loved and secure. Until, just before her 18th birthday, a tragic event changed her life.

Thirteen years on, Eliza is deliberately living as safely as possible, avoiding close relationships and devoting herself to her job. Out of the blue, an enticing invitation from her godmothers prompts a leap into the unknown.

Within a fortnight, Eliza finds herself in the middle of a complicated family in Edinburgh. There’s no such thing as an ordinary day anymore. Yet, amidst the chaos, Eliza begins to blossom. She finds herself not only hopeful about the future, but ready to explore her past. Her godmothers have long been waiting for her to ask about her mother's mysterious life - and about the identity of the father she has never known. But even they are taken by surprise with all that Eliza discovers.

Heart warming, enjoyable story

First time I’ve read a book by Monica Mcinerney. I really enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the way the story moved between Australia, Scotland and Ireland. I loved Sullivan and the friendship he and Eliza formed.
The Godmothers were fabulous, what a special relationship they all had.
I did enjoy hearing Monica’s input at the very end of the book.
Can’t wait to read more of her books
