About this listen
A stunning historical novel from multi-million-copy bestselling author Sheila O'Flanagan
Dublin. The 1920s. As war tears Ireland apart, two young people are caught up in events that will bring love, tragedy - and the hardest of choices.
In a country fighting for freedom, it's hard to live a normal life. Winnie O'Leary supports the cause, but she doesn't go looking for trouble. Then rebel Joseph Burke steps into her workplace. Winnie is furious with him about a broken window. She's not interested in romance. But love comes when you least expect it.
Joseph's family shelter fugitives and transport weapons. Joseph would never ask Winnie to join the fight; but his mother and sisters demand commitment. Will Winnie choose Joseph, and put her own loved ones in deadly danger? Or wait for a time of peace that may never come?
Ireland's tumultuous independence struggle is the backdrop for an unforgettable story of courage and heartbreak, in which heroes are made of ordinary people. Inspired by the story of Sheila O'Flanagan's grandmother, The Woman on the Bridge is the unmissable, compulsive new novel from a bestselling author.

Accent
Enjoying the story, the narrator however cannot carry an Irish accent. Sounds like an attempt at Dublin 4. Had she spoken naturally it would have helped the narration enormously

Historical fiction.
Good story. It was really well narrated, and I loved the characters. The story is written with lots of empathy for both sides during the civil war giving the reader an unbiased view. A bit slow to begin with but stay with it, you won't be disappointed.

Changes your opinion ...
Quite an insight into personal experiences of the Troubles from a fictional point of view that, nevertheless, can give a more accurate perspective. Made me question my own point of view.

Interesting ,different.
Different than her other books so far an historical story based on a reality I learned about in this book. The beginning was a bit hard to get into, and it was not possible to get though it in one go, but I admire this book, good…

My ears hurt
This is a poor, slow, laboured delivery of a story that’s not much better. Wish I didn’t waste my credit on it.
