The Bridge to Always: 'The warmth of her storytelling evokes Maeve Binchy' - Fíona Scarlett

'I stayed up far too late reading this, I couldn't put it down . . . I didn't want it to end' - Vogue Williams

A story about identity and place, about finding out who you are, who your people are, and what it means to be a family.

Maeve Gaffney arrives in a small West Cork town in pursuit of a dream: to be reunited with Tim, the lad she fell for years ago and who, unbeknownst to him, fathered her daughter, Emer.
For Tim, now married and a pillar of the community, Emer's existence is a shock - but the chance to rekindle an old flame with her mother is tempting.
For Agnes, a lonely landowner, Maeve and Emer's arrival is an opportunity to make money - and maybe new friends.
For Malachi, a man of few words but deep emotions, it's . . . complicated.
For Emer, it's about growing up and finding her voice.

For all five, the arrival of this beautiful, wild mother and her silent, observant daughter sparks a devastating chain of events none of them could have predicted.
