About this listen

Kilteegan Bridge, Ireland. 1975

Despite the best efforts to the older generation to maintain standards, short skirts, long hair and loud music are all the rage in Kilteegan Bridge. Emmet Kogan has set his sights on an education at the prestigious Stanford University in California, while his cousin Nellie also longs to get away, but for very different reasons. If she’s to escape too, it will mean wrapping herself in a web of lies, but it’s a price she’s willing to pay.

Lena and Eli are terrified they will lose their boy to the bright lights of America forever, while Emily and Blackie make a decision to keep a dangerous secret, despite knowing the damage such duplicity can do.

On the exciting streets of 1970s San Francisco, two young Irish people have to learn to navigate this new world of wonderful opportunities and dangerous vices, and learn that no matter how open and accepting a society is, there are always rules. Rules that if broken, carry a heavy penalty.

I love this series, especially the narrator. I was surprised with how good her Australian accent was but smiled when she pronounced “can’t” as cant instead of the way we say it, carnt. It’s a good story, not soppy but a comforting read. Reminded me so much of what life was like in the 60s and 70s. Looking forward to the next one.

A great series
