Publisher's summary

Ireland, 1925. The war is over. But life will never be the same....

"Everything Santa Montefiore writes, she writes from the heart," says Jojo Moyes. See why in this unforgettable story of love, loss, and life, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and Kate Morton.

In the green hills of West Cork, Ireland, Castle Deverill has burned to the ground. But young Celia Deverill is determined to see her ruined ancestral home restored to its former glory - to the years when Celia ran through its vast halls with her cousin Kitty and their childhood friend Bridie Doyle.

Kitty herself is raising a young family, but she longs for Jack O'Leary - the long-ago sweetheart she cannot have. And soon Kitty must make a heartbreaking decision, one that could destroy everything she holds dear.

Bridie, once a cook's daughter in Castle Deverill, is now a well-heeled New York City socialite. Yet her celebrity can't erase a past act that haunts her still. Nor can it keep her from seeking revenge upon the woman who wronged her all those years ago.

As these three daughters of Ireland seek to make their way in a world once again beset by dark forces, Santa Montefiore shows us once more why she is one of the best-loved storytellers at work today.

Beautifully written and narrated

This is Book 2 of 3 in the series. I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to both 1 and 2 and am looking forward to the release of the third book but will be sorry to finish it!

Book two gets better

I really enjoyed book one. Book two adds more storylines and suspense. You can’t guess what happens to the characters! You also get to know more about the history of the families. Performance is very well done.

Left Hanging

There were times I thought the dialogue just dragged with self absorbed characters but by the end I wanted to know what happened. I hope there’s another story. You can hear this story and skip the first

A wonderful continuation of this Irish Story.

This is a great 2nd Nivel, in this Series. The twists and turns make it delightful. It is read in such a way, it captures the characters and their situations.

My first Santa Montefiore book!

What did you love best about The Daughters of Ireland?

I didn't listen to the first two books so the characters where new to me. Loved the story! The only thing I didn't like is I was left with what's going to happen and then looked to see if there was a sequel only finding that there where two previous books. Looking for the next book in the series!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how the different characters intertwined.

loving how history is brought to life

I've never been able to remember historical dates, but this book has forever embedded the time period of "the troubles" into my mind. for a book that's not about a war, it made me aware of it in the utmost interesting way.
