DESCRIPTION:
Estranged from her mother since she ran away from her rural Irish home as a young woman, Kate swore a future oath that she’d always be a friend to her daughter, Sabine. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You, the basis for the major motion picture, comes the touching, unforgettable story of three generations of Irish women faced with the fundamental truths of love, duty, and the unbreakable bond that unites mothers and daughters. But history has a way of repeating itself, and Kate now faces an ever-widening chasm between herself and her daughter. After the painful separation from Kate, she’s looking forward to having time with Sabine. Yet almost as soon as the young woman arrives, the lack of common ground between them deflates her enthusiasm. And when Sabine’s impetuous, inquisitive nature forces Joy to face long-buried secrets from her past, she realizes that perhaps it’s time to finally heal old wounds.“This perceptive…novel does the
Sandra L. Ober said Reading My Way Through Moyes. My third Moyes book, I am a fan. Her character development is always good and her story lines take me in directions that I don't always expect. Set in London and Ireland, single mom Kate seeks to improve her relationship with her teenage daughter by sending her to the old family home in Ireland for the summer. The message is sort of, see how much worse off it can be than being at home with me? The daughter, Sabine, dreads the trip and visit with grandparents she barely knows. Far removed from friends and internet, she struggles to. JB said Sheltering Rain. This family saga based in Ireland keeps the reader on the edge of their seat as the tension builds, with plenty of background as life in Hong Kong amd Ireland is described. One suffers the anguish of a sixteen year old, and the distress of her mother at yet another failed relationship. Through it all the grandmother is a fine upstanding woman who has to have her favourite horse put down while her husband lies dying in the house. Strong characters, all of them, who eventually find each other. Another superb book from this author.. Expect the unexpected! An element of surprise sets this novel apart. Just when you are chugging along steadily, your world is turned upside down, when the character you thought you knew is not who she appeared to be. Then it's a wild roller coaster on the Welch coast, very exciting and full of intrigue. Also topical, with domestic violence being the focus both now and in the story. Sensitively written, as we have come to expect, a delightful and gripping read.
