Summary

Discover MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Jessica Redland's uplifting series, Welcome to Whitsborough Bay.

For Clare O’Connell, home is where the heart aches…

Since the age of sixteen, Clare O'Connell has lived her life by four strict rules:

  1. Don't talk about Ireland
  2. Don't think about Ireland
  3. Don't go to Ireland
  4. Don't let anyone in

And so far, it's worked well. She's got a great career, amazing friends, and she's really happy. The future is all that counts, isn't it?

However Clare is about to realise that you can run from the past, but you can't always hide from it…

When her boss insists she travels to Ireland for work, Clare finds herself drawn back to the village of Ballykielty – the home of her family, and the home of her secrets. The one place where vowed never to return to again…

With the door to her past now wide open, the first three rules have gone out of the window. Will Clare stick to rule number four?

Can she be brave and face up to her family and the demons of her past?

An emotional novel of family, friendship and dealing with your past from top 10 bestseller Jessica Redland.

Excellent

I literally could not stop listening to this. I . It is the fourth book in the Welcome to Whitsborough Bay series and is Clare's story. It can be listened/read as a stand alone, however, listening/reading the other three would give you more insight into Clare and her friends and her pretty stand offish/blunt attitude. This is definitely my favourite of the four books, I also love Lucy Browwnhill's narration. 10/10

Good story with twists

it was a lovely story. there definitely should be some sort of warnings for the topics in the book. I really wish they had used an Irish narrator. as an Irish person I was distracted by the fact that the accent wasn't great and wasn't from the area the character was supposed to be from. I also wish the author had done more research as the Irish phrases were appreciated when they were misused it was also distracting and annoying. I'm being picky because over all it was great.

Really enjoyed the story of Claire

Great story and probably my favourite in the series so far. Decent Cork references for her trip home.

Only down side was some of the Irish dialogue was a bit stage Irish and the pronunciation of Irish names was pretty pour. Took me ages to guess Fr. Dockerty was Fr. Doherty. I still don’t know what her sister Nee-ah name is supposed to be. Maybe Niamh?

This series gets better and better.

Really liked this one a lot. Clair’s story was the best out of the books so far. She had a lot to overcome and it was great to see how she grew over the story.
