Summary

Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, a daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart, Patrick Mahone. But when tragedy struck and Patrick's narrow-minded sister, Nora, intervened, the lovers were torn apart.

Fate can be cruel, and when Queenie arrives in London she finds that Patrick Mahon is her parish priest, and that the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart. But now in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahon is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the truth about his son before it's too late, or will Nora once again come between them?

And if Queenie does decide to tell Patrick about Jeremiah, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?

Wonderful family saga

If you can listen to the first book, with poor narration, the rest, narrated by Annie aldington are brilliant. I loved being enveloped by the brogan family through all their ups and downs.
