When Irish Eyes Are Lying

The Kilteegan Bridge Story, Book 4

By: Jean Grainger

Narrated by: Siobhan Waring

Kilteegan Bridge, Ireland. 1975

Despite the best efforts to the older generation to maintain standards, short skirts, long hair and loud music are all the rage in Kilteegan Bridge. Emmet Kogan has set his sights on an education at the prestigious Stanford University in California, while his cousin Nellie also longs to get away, but for very different reasons. If she’s to escape too, it will mean wrapping herself in a web of lies, but it’s a price she’s willing to pay.

Lena and Eli are terrified they will lose their boy to the bright lights of America forever, while Emily and Blackie make a decision to keep a dangerous secret, despite knowing the damage such duplicity can do.

On the exciting streets of 1970s San Francisco, two young Irish people have to learn to navigate this new world of wonderful opportunities and dangerous vices, and learn that no matter how open and accepting a society is, there are always rules. Rules that if broken, carry a heavy penalty.

Great story with a sorrow ending

very enjoyable writing and narration. the story spiraled into unpredictable places which made it exciting and interesting. hope to see a continuation of the series

Wonderful!

The story continues filled with life’s challenges and love of family to help sooth the hurts and bring joy. The two teenagers stretch their wings in America and learn valuable lessons. Beautiful prose. Perfect narration. I’ve loved each book. Hopefully, Ms. Granger will continue writing this series; we love the characters, so.

Great storytelling

I enjoy all Jean Grainger’s books - especially when narrated on audio books. This one was especially touching and brought me to tears. I have read some of her books on kindle, but prefer waiting for the audio books and love when I can start another book as soon as I finish the previous book. This has been one of my favorite series of books and will start reading the next book today!

Unexpected!

I have read all of this series to date. I have loved them all. I was loving this book also, right up to when Eli was killed in the fire.
This strong character was the heart of the book. I didn’t enjoy the rest of the book after this. I still recommend this book in the series but would have preferred a different outcome.

Good!!!

Liked it. My first of this author's. Will read more. I did have some trouble understanding some of the narration. Pretty heavy Irish accent.
