Product Description

Heartbroken when boyfriend Jack goes off with another girl, Tess is more distraught when her widowed mother shows a liking for Jack's father, Dan. Although he's been separated for many years, a Catholic is always married and she knows her mother can only get hurt. Love never seems to run smoothly in 1960s Belfast. Tess' best friend, Agnes, has accepted Tony's offer of marriage because she felt she couldn't let him down when he proposed so publicly, but she's unsure if she really loves him. Then Tess and Agnes both set their sights on a new face in town - Dominic, who has just come back from ten years in America.

Another great read from Mary Larkin
I love Mary Larkin's books - probably because, coming from Northern Ireland, I can identify with the places she is talking about. They really are good clean reads. Larkin has written about 5-6 books now however this wasn't just quite as good as the previous ones (hence the 4 stars). That said, I can't wait until she has another one out. Mary Larkin is to Northern Ireland what Catherine Cookson is to England!
