Bloomsbury presents The Women at Ocean's End by Faith Hogan, read by Flora Montgomery.

'This is an absolute beauty of a book. I loved everything about it - the richness and depth of the characters; the poignant, intricately woven story and the beautiful descriptions of the house and island. It is a book that will stay with me for a very long time' - Sally Page

From the author of the ebook bestseller, The Bookshop Ladies, comes a brand new novel guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings as three women, all with secrets waiting to be uncovered, meet on a beautiful island off the Irish Coast.

Constance Macken, in her ninth decade, is looking back on a life filled with laughter and loss, tragedy and triumph, but knows it is time to right the wrongs from her past that have always haunted her.

Heather Banks arrives on the island to bury her mother. Already adrift with her business sold and her divorce finalised this may be the perfect opportunity to change the course of her future.

Ros Stokes has managed to slip into the perfect job, the perfect cottage and friends that feel like family. However, when the stitches of her life begin to unravel, she must find a way to hold onto the things that have become most dear to her and let go of what holds her back.

Now, in a faded art deco house near the ocean’s end, these women must come together to save the house they love, and each other, because they might have run from their troubles but only time will tell if they can overcome their past.


'Another brilliant novel by one of my favourite authors - prepare to get lost in this beautiful story, masterfully told' - Amanda Prowse

Heartfelt Irish Story

On audiobook, this was difficult at times to keep track of with the 4 main women to follow and keep track of over various timelines, along with local townspeople who were also important.

I mostly enjoyed the story but it meandered a lot towards the end and could’ve done with a shorter ending or more editing.

The romance part of the novel could have been more developed and enjoyed instead of sprung on the reader and wrapped up quickly at the end. Or left out entirely. In fact, a lot got wrapped up at the end rather tidy.

I enjoyed the narrator.
