Synopsis
It was a summer of warmth.... Kate Ryan and her husband, John, have a rollicking pub in the Irish village of Mountfern... lovely twelve-year-old twins... and such wonderful dreams.... It was a summer of innocence... but all that is about to change this fateful summer of 1962 when American millionaire Patrick O'Neill comes to town with his irresistible charm and a pocketful of money... when love and hate vie for a town's quiet heart and old traditions begin to crumble away.... It was a summer of love that would never come again.... A time that has been captured forever in Maeve Binchy's compelling family drama... a novel you will never forget.
From the Hardcover edition.
Reviews
If you enjoy Maeve Binchy's work, this is a must read. That said, it's not her best. There are many wonderful subplots and stories interwoven within the building of a luxury hotel in a small town in Ireland. But, the story does drag on in places...sometimes gets downright slow. But, the tale itself is worth the slow bits, and brings us memorable and enjoyable complex characters we are so accustomed to, with this talented Irish writer.
