About this listen

A heart-warming story about family secrets and one woman’s escape to dreamy Sandy Cove on the stunning west coast of Ireland.

The picturesque beach of Wild Rose Bay is the last place Lydia Butler thought she’d be. But having just lost everything, the run-down cottage she inherited from her Great Aunt Nellie is the only place she can take her daughter, Sunny. Hidden away in a tiny Irish village, she can protect Sunny from the gossip in Dublin, and the real reason they have nowhere else to live....

The cottage is part of the old coastguard station and other eccentric residents are quick to introduce themselves when Lydia arrives. Lydia instantly feels less alone, fascinated by the stories they have about Nellie, and she’s charmed by American artist Jason O’Callaghan, the mysterious man who lives next door.

But the longer Lydia relaxes under the moonlit sky, the more the secret she’s keeping from Sunny threatens to come out. And as she finds herself running into Jason’s arms, she knows she must be honest and face up to the past she has tried to forget. Has she finally found people who will truly accept her, or will the truth force her to leave the cottage for good?

Will transport you to Ireland to relax on the shore and stare at the perfect emerald waters. The Lost Girls of Ireland is perfect for listeners of Debbie Macomber, Sheila O’Flanagan and Mary Alice Monroe.

Far fetched!

The lady in the story “forgot” she’d inherited a house many years earlier! I found the story predictable and uninspiring wouldn’t recommend

Pure escapism!

A feel good novel with an upbeat storyline, indulging in hapless good deeds, found in an idyllic setting. A too good to be true scenario, which is the stuff of fairytale, but a light heated listen.

Disappointing and bland

Sorry, but this story bored me to tears. I kept waiting for a point in the story but it just went on and on. Too much boring detail.

calming read

A good read, sometimes you don't want a book with a high drama or tortuous plot...this was just right and I will look for this author again
