‘Warm, poignant . . . in essence a jewel of a story’ Sunday Independent
A broken heart. A long-held secret. A dream that never died . . .
In 1920s rural Ireland, Pearl Somers lives happily with her family in the gate lodge of Kilnashone Castle, where her father is chauffeur to Lord and Lady Areton. But, one dreadful night, a series of dramatic events unfolds and the lives of all are changed for ever.
Over forty years later, Pearl has become a successful writer. Yet there is one story she has never told, until her young cousin Catherine confesses a secret of her own that opens a door to Pearl’s past – one she thought had been firmly sealed.
When Catherine discovers Pearl’s heart-breaking story, she determines to do her best to reconcile past and present. But is it too late for Pearl to find her own happy ending?
