Beloved author Maeve Binchy's first published novel, an engrossing coming of age tale about the incredible bond of friendship.
To escape the chaos of London during World War II, young Elizabeth White is delivered to live a safer life in the small Irish town of Kilgarret. It really is there, in the crowded, chaotic O’Connor household, that she meet Aisling—a girl who soon becomes her absolute best friend, sharing her pet kitten and secretly teaching her the intricacies of Catholicism.
Aisling’s boldness brings Elizabeth out of her proper shell; later, her support carries Elizabeth through the painful end of her parents’ chilly marriage. In return, Elizabeth’s friendship helps Aisling endure her own unsatisfying marriage to a raging alcoholic. Through the years, they come to trust they can overcome any conflict, conquer any hardship—so long as they have each other. Now they’re about to find out if they are right...
