About the Book:
As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first time ever, just giving up seems like an option.
In just one night, at her own 50th birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life. And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is.
Along with her sister, Toni, who is facing her own crisis, the two women sets out on a life-changing journey – one that will take them through Ireland's wildest coastline and to Sicily's sun-baked rocky shores. It will also take Lou deep into her relationships with her mother, her sister and her daughter to figure out how to stop pleasing everyone else – and carve out who she really wants to be.

My Thoughts:
This one isn't released until February of next year, but I am such a long-time fan of Cathy Kelly that when I received an early copy, I couldn't wait until closer to the release to read it. Cathy is like honey on toast on a rainy day - total comfort. She's not as prolific as she used to be, but the strength and warmth of her Irish stories are just as good as ever.
I'm at the same age as the sisters in this novel so what they were going through was relevant and interesting to me. I really liked both Lou and Toni, adored Aunt Gloria and Emily, despised Lillian - their mother, and as to Trinity, the lost soul they picked up along the way from the side of the road, she turned out to be a real treasure.
This entire novel just oozes warmth and has all the feels, all the way through. I enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it as a pre-order if you are so inclined.
Thanks to the publisher for the review copy.
