About this listen

The only man she’s ever loved is seeing her sister.

And now they have to save her together.

Sally Hanan’s sublime debut mixes the prose of Sue Monk Kidd with the dialogue of Maeve Binchy. With captivating warmth, she pulls us in to how it felt to live in Ireland’s changing culture of the ‘80s, and how it often made a woman’s decisions for her.

“I can’t bear to keep walking. But you can’t keep a secret in this town unless you leave with it.”

Kept apart by their love for one man, two sisters embark on their own paths toward survival, love, and understanding, until they finally meet again in the worst of circumstances. And the reality might break them all.

My Heart Went Walking is a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that sweeps from the small Irish town of Donegal to the “big smoke” of Dublin City; a book that celebrates the pull of family and the chance of redemption. It is a novel for everyone who feels connected to the Irish approach to life—that of grit and laughter—and also for everyone who loves an overriding message of hope and restoration in all things.

Wonderfully drawn characters encountering occasionally terrible circumstances and making very human mistakes. Yet they provide a great example of human endurance and forgiveness.

Beautiful author narration - engrossing story

I mostly enjoyed this book on Audible. I increased the speed more than usual because it was a very slow place for me. The characters were interesting and likable.

Enjoyed

The story just went so fast that I didn’t connect with the characters very much. I think it was an ok story but if it wasn’t apart of my book club I would have stopped reading halfway through.

Wasn’t my cup of tea
