About this listen
A heartbreaking story of love and loss.
In 1875, 18-year-old would-be poet Jack Brennan runs away from home to avoid being pushed into the priesthood. Life soon looks rosy for Jack when he lands the teaching job he's always dreamed of and meets the love of his life, Eliza Hewlett. But his world is shattered when Mary Ellen, his landlord's daughter, falsely accuses him of fathering the child she is expecting.
Jack and Eliza decide to escape to America. As they are about to sail, Jack is arrested and dragged from the ship, leaving Eliza alone en route to New York with only a few shillings in her pocket.
Once parted, each is forced to adjust to a future they had neither wanted nor expected.

Depressing Ending
The first chapters were promising and hinted at romantic conclusions. Sadly, this was not to be the case, and the finale was, for me, most depressing. My current situation cried out for a gleeful ending, and that was not to be. The talk of graveyards in the epilogue made me feel very sad. I have purchased another book by this author but I am loath to read it. Sorry, maybe this is what other reads require.

Such a disappointing narration
The story was moving but I’m struggling to understand why someone with an American accent was used. Not only were the vast majority of characters English and any attempts at regional English accents were dire but the reader was definitely not one of the best I’ve heard.
Sadly spoiled for me because I found the narration so irritating.
