I first bought this book back when it was released. I believe that was as far back as 2014! I had been trying to increase my reading of woman Irish authors and I had read a review for this in one of the Irish Newspapers. Then it was left on a shelf for a decade.

What a waste! This book is probably one of the better-told WW1 sagas. Its characters sing of the page (in one case literally :)). And it even got an anti-romantic such as myself all wrapped up in its love story.

I will be reading more of Susan Lanigan soon and I wish her all the best with the two Novels she is currently looking for a publisher for.
