About this listen
This is the story of two very different children growing up in a small Irish seaside town in the 50s and 60s. Shouting their hearts' desires into the echo cave, praying that their destiny will lead them far away from the town in which they live.
Castlebay, in winter empty and grey with wind and sea spray, becomes all bustle and colour in the gaudy days of summer. The paths of these two characters are destined to criss-cross in a quite unforeseen way, and eventually both roads will lead back to Castlebay.
The end of this long drama of ambition, betrayal and love is played out in the seaside town where it began, against a backdrop of whispered family gossip and the tangled skein of past friendships.

A Delight from Start to Finish
As with most of Maeve Binchy’s stories, this is a charming and very credible tale. The characters are believable and the life of the small coastal town is very well depicted.
What impresses me most about this audio book, is the beautiful lyrical narration by Kate Binchy - a sheer delight to listen to!
This book would appeal to anyone who enjoys Maeve Binchy’s books, or who enjoys a nostalgic look at times gone by.

Depressingly sad
I read the book many years ago and don’t remember it being this full of sadness. Some how the audio made it even more despairing. I usually listen to my audio books several times but this story is so full of struggle I could hardly finish it.
