Number One Bestseller, The House on Willow Street (Harper Collins 2012) is a romantic
fiction set in Ireland during the global financial crisis. It follows the lives
of four women who return to the Irish village of Avalon to heal their broken
hearts.
Mara, after being cheated on in a
publically humiliating way, is determined to create a new life in Avalon. She moves in with her aunt Danae – a
hermit who is forced reluctantly into socialising by her niece. Sisters Tess and Suki must
forgive the past if Tess is to restart her life after divorce, save her
antiques shop, and reconnect with the one man she never stopped loving. Suki, a once famous writer, needs to
resurrect her career and write the book that will help her do it.
An ambassador for UNICEF and supporter of
rights for women and children, Cathy Kelly draws the theme of domestic violence
into the narrative. She treats the
topic with sincerity and care. Her
insightful observations of human behaviour shine through in her strong,
believable characters.
Although it is an easy weekend read, there
is plenty of tension in this book.
Kelly keeps fascinating details about her characters’ pasts secret until
she is left with no other choice but to reveal them.
Guaranteed to keep you turning the pages…
