2010 Caroline has hit rock bottom. After years of trying, it' s clear she can' t have children, and the pain has driven her and her husband apart. She isn' t pregnant, her husband is gone and her beloved dog is dead. The other women at her infertility support group have their own problems, too. Natalie' s girlfriend is much less excited about having children than her. Janet' s husband might be having an affair. And then there' s Ronnie, intriguing, mysterious Ronnie, who won' t tell anyone her story. 1976 Catherine is sixteen and pregnant. Her boyfriend wants nothing to do with her, and her parents are ashamed. When she' s sent away to a convent for pregnant girls, she is desperate not to be separated from her child. But she knows she might risk losing the baby forever.
Do yourself a favour and read this beautiful, heart-wrenching, raw book full of richly layered characters. A powerful and visceral exploration of the craving to be a parent - the shattered dreams, the highs and lows. This book is also full of joy and hope * Sinead Moriarty * An enthralling read with brilliant characterisation, heartbreaking plotting, and so many laughs along the way. A very contemporary story that doesn' t neglect the consequences of the horrors of how Ireland treated women not so long ago * Liz Nugent *
