About this listen
'I loved The Bridge To Always. Marron has created a vibrant world, peopled with appealing characters caught, as we all are, in the net of their circumstances but struggling to be free. At the book's heart is a love story, but not the one I was expecting; something richer, sweeter and entirely compelling' - Emily Hourican, author of The Glorious Guinness Girls
A story about identity and place, about finding out who you are, who your people are, and what it means to be a family.
Maeve Gaffney arrives in a small West Cork town in pursuit of a dream: to be reunited with Tim, the lad she fell for years ago and who, unbeknownst to him, fathered her daughter, Emer.
For Tim, now married and a pillar of the community, Emer's existence is a shock - but the chance to rekindle an old flame with her mother is tempting.
For Agnes, a lonely landowner, Maeve and Emer's arrival is an opportunity to make money - and maybe new friends.
For Malachi, a man of few words but deep emotions, it's . . . complicated.
For Emer, it's about growing up and finding her voice.
For all five, the arrival of this beautiful, wild mother and her silent, observant daughter sparks a devastating chain of events none of them could have predicted. ©2025 Lynda Marron (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK
Critic Reviews

'A heartfelt tale, told with great warmth and confidence' (Roisin Meaney)
'Decisive women, passive men and one watchful child, this has the strong characters and everyday hope and heartbreak we can all recognise: A close look at the difference between having strength and having power, told with a hopeful heart' (Gráinne Murphy)
A wonderful story
