'An amiable cast and description aplenty for those looking for a bit of an Irish idyll.' (Kirkus Reviews)

'Taylor's flair for the dramatic creates an atmosphere of suspense; and folksy witticisms and homey evocations of rural life round out the tale.; (Publishers Weekly)

'Alice Taylor is an outstanding storyteller.' (The Irish Times)

Excellent Story Telling.

My parents from Ireland loved this author and encouraged me to read her books. I never did until now, I loved this one and the previous one. The narrator is brilliant listening to this book is like listening to a play.
