|comment= I would NEVER consider this book based on the cover. But taking into account the fact that I am a closet Rosamund Pilcher addict (OK, it's out now, Jill don't guffaw please) maybe this one is not a bad idea.   

|comment= My immediate reaction was to compare with Maeve Binchy, but Rosamund Pilcher would not be a bad comparison either. I'd say Orna Ross has the same story-telling ability, but there's a lot more depth to the writing.   

|comment= I thourghly enjoyed the book.It was very well written and the story line was so interesting .It is going around my women friends who are involded in book clubs.I look forward to the next one.  

|comment= Absolutely brilliant. My mother was in jail in 1923 with all the other well known republican women and they suffered so much. I can readily identify with the plot of this book and the bitterness that still exists in some families. Orna Ross has brought to life an inner depth of the human cost of the Civil War that has been swept aside for too long and will captivate young and older readers alike. Thank you Orna, We are indebted to you forever.....Aoife  

|comment= I too had the feeling that this might be chick lit but how wrong could you be? I think the publisher did the book a disservice with the title, the cover and the blurb - this is a wonderful multilayered historical novel with well-rounded characters and a plot that keeps you guessing to the end.
