Summary
Mary Kate Malone has escaped from Ireland to seek her fortune in Liverpool, but from the beginning, things go wrong, and now she is living a secret life in the shadows, with tragedy looming.
Mary Kate Malone has come to Liverpool from Ireland to seek her fortune, but from the very beginning things have gone wrong. Now she is living secretly with her great love, Dr Nicholas Marcus, while his wife, Lavinia, mother of his two sons, plots her revenge on the girl she believes has destroyed her marriage. When disaster strikes, Mary Kate's first instinct is to flee to her family in Ireland. But back in Tarabeg, a charismatic American stranger has set the village by the ears, and it isn't the place Mary Kate remembers any more.
To add to her problems, Dr Gaskell and Matron from St Angelus Hospital have come to Tarabeg to recruit nurses, and Mary Kate's Liverpool life comes back to haunt her with a vengeance.

Liverpudlian accent?
Overall the story is’OK’ and it’s nice to follow some of the same characters from Liverpool to Ireland, but although the narrator does a good job with the Irish voices and accents where on earth did she dredge up the accent for the people of Liverpool? It’s can only be characterised as sort of ‘mid northern’. Most odd.

Great Story
I really enjoyed this. It would have been even better if the narrator had not almost constantly had a sense of urgency.

A Heartwarming End.
An easy listening and lovely end to the trilogy.
The narrator should try harder with the Luverpudlian accent though, it was awful!

This was a beautiful end to the trilogy. It was a fantastic trilogy that had me wanting to visit Tarabeg. Nadine Dorries is a wonderful writer.
