Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Is there such a thing as a perfect marriage?
David thought so. But when his wife, Mary Rose, dies suddenly he has to think again. In reliving their 20 years together David sees that the ground beneath them had shifted and he simply hadn't noticed. Or had chosen not to.
Figuring out who Mary Rose really was and the secrets that she kept - some of these hidden in plain sight - makes David wonder if he really knew her. Did he even know himself?
Nothing but Blue Sky is a precise and tender story of love in marriage - a gripping examination of what binds couples together and of what keeps them apart.

A great listen
A story of painted feathers on a blue sky.
We can all look at people and see there lives as we think they are, but we can never see there hearts, love and loss.

Grief, love and hope.
This is my first Kathleen MacMahon, chosen solely for the narration (I check out everything narrated by Stephen Hogan - he's THE BEST.) I loved the book from the first couple of pages and continued to love it throughout . It's a simple story told with such tenderness. It's about grief and love and hope. I adored it and will seek out more MacMahon's.

Beautifully crafted
A gentle & thought provoking story of love, grief & life. Wonderfully narrated throughout.
I marvel at the warmth & depth of irish authors & Kathleen MacMahon lived up to my hopes with this book.
The characters are real and absorbing. The human experience so real. I really enjoyed this audio. Thank you

A beautiful book
I loved this audible book about marriage, bereavement, childlessness and the effects on us of our childhood experiences. Slow moving and funny at times but compelling. Excellent narration.

Tender and Beautiful and Unexpected
Such attention to small details, a compelling plot and an empathic narrator. In my top five audible listens.

Stellar Storytelling
So compelling. Will miss every character. Uniquely relatable. Marie Rose would be happy with the denouement I think. More McMahon please.
