About this listen

Kit McMahon lives in the small Irish town of Lough Glass, a place where nothing changes - until the day Kit's mother disappears and Kit is haunted by the memory of her mother, alone at the kitchen table, tears streaming down her face.

Now Kit, too, has secrets: of the night she discovered a letter and burned it, unopened. The night her mother was lost. The night everything changed forever....

So disappointing, one of my favourite books, to listen to over 20 hours and then it is missing all the fabulous bits that tie this book all together. Such a shame as the narrator is fabulous. Needs to be revisited and the ending added in correctly

Haven’t read any Maeve Binchy before. The storyline was interesting and quite unpredictable and I loved the Irish accents.
I would like to try some more of her books.

Different

There were problems with the audio. It seemed like parts had been cut out, and the narrator changed at one point. There was also times when there was distinct background noise, and the audio was muffled.

Despite the tragedy of the plot, the characters were beautifully drawn and the time period accurate. Engaging and hard to set aside. The ending a message of hope.

A complex story of human nature.
