Title: The Moon Over Kilmore Quay
When your heart belongs in two places, can you ever truly find home?
Brooklyn, New York,
Bea has grown up in the heart of the Irish community, always hearing stories of home. When she discovers a letter from her younger self, written years before, it sends her deep into her own family history.
Kilmore Quay, Ireland.
Years earlier, Lucy Mernagh leaves her much-loved home and family in search of the New York dream. The Big Apple is a world away from the quiet village she grew up in, and the longing for home aches within her.
When Bea uncovers a shocking secret, it takes her back across the water to Kilmore Quay, where – finally – long-buried truths will come to light. But fate has one last twist in store…
It took me a while to get into this book, but wow once I was hooked I couldn't get enough of it.
And by the last quarter or so I lost count of the amount of times I paused and looked up in open mouthed wonder at what was happening next.
Somehow I didn't see a large amount of things coming although with hindsight it makes sense.
I loved the dual times lines of what is happening in Bea's life now, as well as Lucy's life when she first emigrated to New York from Wexford, Ireland.
There is a great sense if Irish community and pride within this book that I loved feeling a part of.
It is another well thought out, gripping and engaging story from a fabulous author, who always produces wonderful books.
A very heartwarming story that will certainly get under your skin and get you thinking.
Thank you to HarperCollins and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
