Book description
Why has a secret from 1914 caused a century of heartache?
Troubled by recent loss, Grania Ryan has returned to Ireland
and the arms of her loving family. And it is here, on a cliff edge,
that she first meets a young girl, Aurora, who will profoundly change
her life.
Mysteriously drawn to Aurora, Grania discovers that the histories of
their families are strangely and deeply entwined . . .
From a bittersweet romance in wartime London to a troubled
relationship in contemporary New York, from devotion to a foundling
child to forgotten memories of a lost brother, the Ryans and the
Lisles, past and present, have been entangled for a century.
Ultimately, it will be Aurora whose intuition and remarkable spirit
help break the spell and unlock the chains of the past.
Haunting, uplifting and deeply moving, Aurora's story tells of the
triumph of hope over loss.
Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland. She lives in Norfolk with her
husband and four children.
