Summary

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....

Another fantastic listen

I really enjoyed this book - so beautifully read and written . Once again, as with all the many of the Maeve Binchy audible books I have listened to, it made me feel I knew the characters.
Would absolutely recommend this touching story .

I love this book but the edit fail ruins this audio version

I love this book, a long time favourite and this recording is decent right up until the end when it misses a crucial part of the ending. Such a shame and a let down
