Product Description
From AudioFile
Dunne cleverly creates two very different Irish families, whose lives eventually intersect amid the growing political turmoil in Belfast. Characters are appealing, and both sides are evenly portrayed, giving a depth that is often absent in historical fiction. Narrator Dearbhla Molloy captures each accent and nuance, adding her personal touch to maintain listener interest. Dunne's fine writing is enhanced by Molloy's excellent interpretation.

From then on there are changes: the children are taken to Belfast to live with their grandfather where they discover their own individualitytheir love towards one another binds them together, but a new self-awareness comes to the fore.In another part of the country, two other sisters find their world changing: Maria and Cecilia are born into a working-class Belfast family, one soon torn apart by poverty and disease.
