About this listen

"Talented Barrie Kreinik narrates this complicated contemporary story about the hardships of the Connelly family." - AudioFile

From Tracey Lange, the New York Times bestselling author of We Are the Brennans, comes The Connellys of County Down: a story about fierce family loyalty, good intentions gone awry, and the consequences of improbable love.

When Tara Connelly is released from prison after serving eighteen months on a drug charge, she knows rebuilding her life at thirty years old won’t be easy. With no money and no prospects, she returns home to live with her siblings, who are both busy with their own problems. Her brother, a single dad, struggles with the ongoing effects of a brain injury he sustained years ago, and her sister’s fragile facade of calm and order is cracking under the burden of big secrets. Life becomes even more complicated when the cop who put her in prison keeps showing up unannounced, leaving Tara to wonder what he wants from her now.

While she works to build a new career and hold her family together, Tara finds a chance at love in a most unlikely place. But when the Connellys’ secrets start to unravel and threaten her future, they all must face their worst fears and come clean, or risk losing each other forever.

The Connellys of County Down is a moving novel about testing the bounds of love and loyalty. It explores the possibility of beginning our lives anew, and reveals the pitfalls of shielding each other from the bitter truth.

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

Her second novel has been long awaited, but a letdown. Good, but I don’t love this novel.

I enjoyed the overall story, but it was predictable. At times I was annoyed with the characters. The performance was adequate.

Sweet Story

From the opening chapter I was completely hooked on The Connellys. The author portrays them with grit, humanity and believability. Tense and tearful at times, this is a story that delivers what it means to be part of family torn apart by trauma but still united in love.

A family saga that digs in and hangs on
