The Star and the Shamrock

By: Jean Grainger

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

Ariella Bannon has no choice: she must put her precious children, Liesl and Erich, on that train or allow them to become prey for the Nazis.

Berlin 1939.

When her husband doesn’t come home one day, Ariella realises that the only way she can ensure her Jewish children’s safety is to avail of the Kindertransport, but can she bear to let them go?

A thousand miles away, Elizabeth Klein has closed herself off from the world. Losing her husband on the last day of the Great War, and her child months later, she cannot, will not, love again. It hurts too much.

But she is all Liesl and Erich Bannon have.

Thrown together in the wild countryside of Northern Ireland, Elizabeth and the Bannon children discover that life in the country is anything but tranquil. Danger and intrigue lurk everywhere, and some people are not what they seem.

From the streets of wartime Berlin, to the bombed out city of Liverpool, and finally resting in the lush valleys of the Ards Penisula, The Star and The Shamrock from USA Today bestselling author Jean Grainger, is utterly binge-worthy.

Very inlighting

Very interesting. I try to learn all I can about WW ll. It takes lots of research

The Star & the Shamrock

This was a fast read & I found engaging from the start! There was a nice blend of mystery, history & romance. I would definitely recommend . I learned abt the kindertransport in Northern Ireland ! I had read no books abt their involvement in WW2…

Loved it

A story of the horrors of war and the people who step to to make a difference. Beautifully written.

Elizabeth's love.

I had just finished another book about the atrocities of the germans and then I had seen probably on facebook , the title of this book. I am definitely a fan of Ireland. My emotions became very involved in this story.

Love during War

The hate expressed toward Jews. Still existsDeveloping new mixed families during wartimes was so strong
