Summary

Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are…

As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first time ever, just giving up seems like an option.

In just one night, at her own 50th birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life. And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is.

Along with her sister, Toni, who is facing her own crisis, the two women sets out on a life-changing journey – one that will take them through Ireland’s wildest coastline and to Sicily’s sun-baked rocky shores. It will also take Lou deep into her relationships with her mother, her sister and her daughter to figure out how to stop pleasing everyone else – and carve out who she really wants to be.

Story was ok.

The story was about a woman finding herself, which I love.
But the narration of this book, the pathetic sounding women was too far.. from beginning to end.
Awful.. the men all sounded strong, the women… shameful, hated it because of the narration.

2nd review - see why

I gave this book 5 stars in everything. Yet when I went to post I caught my finger and it ended up as 2 stars.
I can't work out how to change my last review, so a new one to explain why my words are complimentary, but my ratings aren't.
I do recommend reading this book.

A wonderful read.

Pure escapism with real human emotions. You buy into the characters and their outcomes. Loved the descriptive dialogue and the readers performance.

Enjoyable read

Enjoyed listening to this book. I must admit I found Lou’s voice very irritating though! Which was a shame

Lovely story & wonderfully narrated

Really enjoyed listening to this book, the story , the narration were a perfect match.

Took a few chapter for me to come to terms with who everyone was and the links, but by then I was hooked

Satisfying in the end

A long slow build up to the centrepiece of the novel, but once that has been achieved a beautiful description of family relationships.

Couldn’t put it down

Great page turner, I loved it. Unusual storyline wish I could go back and unread it so I could read it again!
