Book Description
In post-war Tarabeg, two women are waiting for ambitious Michael Malone to return home. Rosie is the local schoolteacher and most people think she is promised to him. Just a few have guessed that he has secretly begun to woo Sarah, whose brutal fisherman father would kill her if he knew.
Both Rosie and Sarah love Michael, both hope to become his wife and their lives will interweave in a tale of tangled secrets, old promises and new feuds. Michael Malone’s choice will have fateful consequences for everyone – especially, in due course, for his young daughter.
This is the first in a new sequence of novels with a brilliant new cast of characters and a story that will lead to Liverpool in Mary Kate and back to Ireland in The Seven Acres.
About the Author
Nadine Dorries grew up in a working-class family in Liverpool and spent a great deal of time in Mayo with her Irish grandmother. She trained as a nurse and has been the MP for Mid-Bedfordshire since 2005. She has three daughters.

The Brighton Mermaid by Dorothy Koomson.
Funnily enough, I always seem to read books set in wintertime during the summer. Maybe it makes me feel cooler…I don’t know.
I’ve just finished The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it. The added bonus for summertime is that it’s 700 pages so it could see you through most of your holiday
What book is your top Summer read?

A reaper at the gates by Sabaa Tahir
