Description
'[A] stunning novel that combines history with a fascinating mystery... Enthralling, absorbing and entirely delightful' - Jane Casey
A heart-stopping dual timeline mystery, from the bestselling author of The Belladonna Maze.
In 1924, Annie, dreaming of a new life, leaves her home in Ballydrynawn, West Kerry, and boards a ship bound for New York. With Irish maids in demand, she soon finds work with the wealthy Cavendish family in their opulent Fifth Avenue mansion. Only Annie knows the secrets she left behind though and when her friendship with an Italian waitress named Elena deepens into something more passionate and dangerous for them both, Annie's past rises up to haunt her. Will be she be forced to flee again?
Now, Emer arrives at her family's holiday home in Ballydrynawn. Burnt out and desperate for more, Emer has run away from her new life in LA. But even as the village begins to work its healing magic, the past refuses to stay silent.
As Annie and Emer's past and future begin to intertwine in the shadows of the village's magical Fairy Tree, long buried secrets will be revealed…

Ireland's past and present overlap in this stunning novel that combines history with a fascinating mystery. Sinéad Crowley writes with tremendous warmth balanced by enjoyably astute observation of how we live now.
