About this listen

An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller.

In an unforgettable love story, a woman’s impossible journey through the ages could change everything....

Anne Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.

The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy’s long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman’s disappearance is connected to her own.

As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland’s independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she’d find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?

The best read in years

This story is like an Irish fairy tale, and there is a fairy tale told, but I am thinking of the Silkies - seals who come out of the sea as beautiful women. But this story takes place in modern times, and if, like me, you didn't understand the origin of the Irish troubles, when you read this, you will understand it on a human level.
The narrartion was superb and gave credence to the story.
One thing I highly recommend is that, when you get to the end of the story, you listen again to the starting few chapters. You will appreciate so much more.
I'm now headed off to look for another Amy Harmon book!

Fabulous time-slip tale of love and longing interwoven with Ireland’s turbulent history and wonderful poetry. I wasn’t sure I would love it in the first chapter, but once we reached the Loch, I was hooked. I enjoyed it so much I immediately started over again.

The narration was excellent but the story dragged at times, lingering too long on some things. The ending was sweet and worth waiting for.
