I really enjoyed this book. I've never read any of this authors books before but will certainly read more. The only Critism is that the end was rushed. ( )

Review for the Abridged Audio version.

My gut feeling about this audio-book was that it was too heavily abridged. I felt I was losing a lot of the interesting, character building detail, and just following the bones of the story. This just simply wasn't enough to hold my attention.
It is a shame that reviews for audio-books are not submitted separately because a poor abridgement affects the rating for all editions.

The central characters were two sisters, Chrissie and Grace, who had survived the war and were both ready for exciting new lives. Grace was ready to work hard, settle down and start a family with a loving man; Chrissie however, was more wild, inclined to rash decisions and rather selfish.
When one of their friends gets married, Chrissie spots a handsome young Irish farmer, Pat Kilroy, and immediately falls in love. True to character she is ready to rush accross the seas to him, with widespread repercussions on her whole family.

A rather typical story, with not a lot to offer. I have other books by Ms Andrews on my shelves so I will read my next book in hard copy to give the author a fair try.
Recommended for fans of Audrey Howard or Lillian Harry. ( )
