Summary
The FitzDeanes are wealthy. They have Ballyford Castle in Ireland and a growing shipping business in Liverpool, but a previous generation made a terrible mistake and now there are whispers that the family is cursed, unable to produce a living heir.
When young Ruby Flynn arrives to work at Ballyford, rumours start swirling around this beautiful girl with a mysterious past. Who is she really? And what will her arrival mean for this powerful family divided by tragedy?

This book fed my heart
With its Irish setting, family relationships and, most of all, folklore and friendship. A worthwhile read

From the convent to the castle!
Nadine Dorris paints a lovely picture of life in rural Ireland just after WW11 but takes you a while to work out quite when the story is set. Well written with a good storyline and believable characters, which are well read and easy to identify as Noreen does and excellent job with the various accents.
I was just a little disappointed with the ship storyline which had a big build up up fizzled out with only a short mention of what happened and no explanation. Maybe another case of the author being told the book was too long or the deadline approaching so it had to be finished quickly. ( we readers do notice a sudden ending you know!)
There was so much more I wanted to know. Some was resolved in the epilogue but it would have been lovely to have had that as another chapter.

I loved this book.
This is another wonderful offering from Nadine Nourishing. I wish they would create a filmplay based on this story.

brilliant book just wish it had been longer
Excellent narration. Great story reminds me of Downton Abbey. I just wish the story was longer and the author went into each of the characters lives more. Pity as there is so much scope to make the book longer.

Brilliant. can visualise it on TV
I love a period drama on tv so I thought I'd try this book. I was not dissapointed.
I loved the book, could not stop listening.
The staff all had their own personalities which was portrayed brillianty by the curator. The catstle has hidden secrets and the story speaks of love and sadness.
