‘Let the wind take me and the soft rain settle me into the Irish soil from where I came. And may my sins be forgiven.' Arethusa Clayton has always been formidable, used to getting her own way. On her death, she leaves unexpected instructions. Instead of being buried in America, on the wealthy East Coast where she and her late husband raised their two children, Arethusa has decreed that her ashes be scattered in a remote corner of Ireland, on the hills overlooking the sea. All Arethusa ever told Faye was that she grew up in a poor farming family and left Ireland, alone, to start a new life in America as did so many in those times of hardship and famine. But who were her family in Ireland and where are they now? What was the real reason that she turned away from them? And who is the mysterious benefactor of a significant share of Arethusa's estate? Arethusa is gone. There is no one left to tell her story. Faye feels bereft, as if her mother's whole family has died with her. Leaving her own husband and children behind, she travels to the picturesque village of Ballinakelly, determined to fulfil her mother's last wish and to find out the reason for Arethusa's insistence on being laid to rest in this faraway land. Praise for Santa Montefiore: “Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore.” JOJO MOYES “An enchanting read, overflowing with deliciously poignant moments.” DINAH JEFFRIES “Santa Montefiore hits the spot for me like few other writers.” SARRA MANNING “One of our personal favourites.” THE TIMES

The least of the series: especially at the end the story drags on a bit. Still: wonderful characters and beautiful description of Ireland.

If you have read the first 3 books then this book will fall into place. If the books before hand have not been read then this book has been very well written to understand the book. Loved it!

Een heel mooi verhaal. Het boek sluit aan op de Deverell reeks van drie, maar is ook apart te lezen. Het perspectief is veranderd naar de ik-vorm en dat geeft het een persoonlijker geheel. Een dubbelverhaal, waarbij het vaak verwijst naar de karakters uit de trilogie, waardoor je nog meer te weten komt over hoe het hen is vergaan na boek drie.
