Book description
Every woman needs her Cathy Kelly time - lose yourself with this warm
and enjoyable short story perfect for a relaxing break.
Elsie loves her regular letters from her sister Maisie in Chicago.
Maisie emigrated to America forty-five years ago but the sisters keep in
touch monthly. The letters cross the Atlantic, back and forth, filled
with news about their families, their hopes, dreams and successes. Of
course, it's not quite as good as seeing each other in person, but they
are happy enough with the arrangement.
But when Maisie suddenly announces that her granddaughter wants to visit
Elsie in Ireland, Elsie is besides herself with worry. A great deal has
happened in the last forty-five years, and she may not have always
reported it all accurately back to her sister. She can't possibly bear
the humiliation of being found out for having stretched the truth, but
there is no way she can refuse to play host to a member of her family,
is there?
A funny, heartwarming and true-to-life Cathy Kelly story - tuck in and enjoy.
