Bloomsbury presents The Women at Ocean's End by Faith Hogan, read by Flora Montgomery.

'This is an absolute beauty of a book. I loved everything about it - the richness and depth of the characters; the poignant, intricately woven story and the beautiful descriptions of the house and island. It is a book that will stay with me for a very long time' - Sally Page

From the author of the ebook bestseller, The Bookshop Ladies, comes a brand new novel guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings as three women, all with secrets waiting to be uncovered, meet on a beautiful island off the Irish Coast.

Constance Macken, in her ninth decade, is looking back on a life filled with laughter and loss, tragedy and triumph, but knows it is time to right the wrongs from her past that have always haunted her.

Heather Banks arrives on the island to bury her mother. Already adrift with her business sold and her divorce finalised this may be the perfect opportunity to change the course of her future.

Ros Stokes has managed to slip into the perfect job, the perfect cottage and friends that feel like family. However, when the stitches of her life begin to unravel, she must find a way to hold onto the things that have become most dear to her and let go of what holds her back.

Now, in a faded art deco house near the ocean’s end, these women must come together to save the house they love, and each other, because they might have run from their troubles but only time will tell if they can overcome their past.


'Another brilliant novel by one of my favourite authors - prepare to get lost in this beautiful story, masterfully told' - Amanda Prowse

Really enjoyed this book!

Wonderful story with great characters and good narration. Hope there will be a sequel coming out in the future

Such a lovely complex story

The way the story revolved around the three women just so emotional and real! I’ll listen again!

Against all odds

This lovely story of lasting friendships against all odds is one that will stay with me a very long time. I am grateful to have read it and shared in this wonderful fictional (or perhaps not) journey.

Perfection

Absolute perfection. Reminiscent of Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy. Beautiful prose , characters you can love, despise sink your teeth into. I’ve finally stumbled across an author whom is worth her weight in gold. Finally! I was able to lose myself completely. These are books you will listen too or read again .

A bit long winded

The story drags on a bit. The interesting bits flow too easily into the story. Could have been far more exciting in half the amount of pages.
