Publisher's Summary
This audio edition features original music composed and recorded for the audiobook.
How does a family pick up the pieces when the one person who held them all together has gone?
When 40-year-old Rabbit Hayes dies, she leaves behind a family broken by grief. Her mother, Molly, is distraught and in danger of losing her faith. Her father, Jack, spends hour upon hour in the family attic, poring over his old diaries, losing himself in the past.
Rabbit's brother, Davey, finds himself suddenly guardian to her 12-year-old daughter, Juliet. Juliet might be able to fill a hole in Davey's heart - but how can he help Juliet through her grief when he can barely cope with his own?
Meanwhile, Rabbit's sister, Grace, is struggling with the knowledge that she carries the same gene that made her sister ill, and Rabbit's best friend, Marjorie, is lost, struggling to remain a part of a family she has always wished was her own now that her link to them is gone.
But even though the Hayes family are all fighting their own battles, they are drawn together by their love for Rabbit and their love for each other. In the years that follow her death they find new ways to celebrate and remember her, to find humour and hope in the face of tragedy, and to live life to its fullest, as Rabbit would have wanted.
Below the Big Blue Sky will make you laugh, cry and shout with joy for the colourful, unruly Hayes family as they battle with the loss of their beloved Rabbit, the daughter, mother, sister and friend, who in her own crazy way taught each of them how to live and goes on showing them how to love from beyond the grave.

It is a Big blue sky…..
This will be one of my favourite books. Its humour and moving story line will make you laugh and cry and understand what it’s like to be Irish. The characters are larger than life and draw you in to be empathetic to their lives.
I would recommend it highly. The music at the end was a great inclusion.

Beautiful, wonderful, sad when it finished
I loved the first book and this is just as good. Feel so sad to have finished. The most glorious highs and heart aching lows. Thank you Anna for The Hayes family
