Publisher's summary
Kilteegan Bridge, County Cork 1958
For eighteen year old Lena O'Sullivan, life is predictable and dull. A future of hard work, marriage to a local boy, and a family of her own one day is all she has to look forward to. People from her background know not to expect too much, but Lena yearns for something different.
Malachy Berger was different, for him, the world is at his feet. An only child of a wealthy, if peculiar father, a large inheritance, a beautiful house and a fine education are his due. Nobody is in favour of Lena and Malachy’s friendship, but why not? What harm are they doing? Why is everyone so dead set against it?
Then fate takes a hand, and Lena realises that secrets and lies have bound her and Malachy in an impossible situation. And their future seems determined by events that happened long before they were born.
From rural Ireland to post-war Cardiff, Lena and Malachy’s story winds its way back to wartime Germany and occupied France in a web of deceit that threatens to destroy them both.

Story
Dr. Richard Buckley returns home to his wife and beloved hometown of Dunderrig, weary and heart-sick over the horror and pointlessness of The Great War. Soon, trouble is coming from all sides—Richard’s unhappy wife leaves Dunderrig, and a Nazi occupied Europe marches steadily closer to home. In the blink of an eye, the peace he’d craved and enjoyed since his days on the battlefield are gone. Meantime, James and Juliet come of age in a world on the brink of chaos, where the remnants of rebellion at home have snowballed into the horrors of yet another world war.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

I loved the characters . Historical fiction is a favorite genre for me. This story could stand alone but following the characters into their future was very satisfying. Siobhan has the perfect voice for these stories and characters. Well done!

First of all, the narration is pitch perfect! I so loved the lilting Irish brogue. And surprisingly, the characters voices were quite defined. The story was amazing and overall it was such an enjoyable and compelling listen. Looking forward to the next in the series. Well done!

An Irish Love Story
I loved everything about this story. I liked each of the characters and the way in which they were portrayed. My only criticism was that the reading was too fast for me to easily understand. It may have been due to the Irish accent but for whatever reason, I listened at 0.9 speed and enjoyed it much more just a little bit slower.

GREAT STARTING STORY TO THIS SERIES!
I really enjoyed this first book in the Kilteegan Bridge series.
Lena o’Sullivan is 18. She feels her life on the farm is boring and she wishes she could get away from it. As much as she longs to go somewhere (anywhere), she can’t go. Her 15-year-old brother runs the family farm after his father’s death. Her mother is mentally ill. Her older sister is getting married in two months. If Lena leaves, who will take care of the two-year-old twins when her mom is having one of her “episodes”?
Lena expects her life to be just like her mother’s and sisters — boring. She’ll get married, be a farmer’s wife, have a bunch of kids. She’s resigned to it, but it’s not exactly her dream.
Then she meets Malachy at a dance. He’s the only child of a wealthy father. He lives in a big house, is getting a first class education, and for some reason Lena doesn’t understand, he falls in love with her (and she with him). Before Malachy returns to school for his final exams, the two decide to marry; but after Malachy leaves, he doesn’t respond to any of Lena’s letters. She is heartbroken. She also soon discovers she is expecting. She knows she can’t stay at home, risking upsetting her mother to the point of her plunging into another mental episode and might cause no end of scandal in town, but where could she go?
Lena’s beloved Godfather, Dr. Emmett Brown, arranges for her to go stay with friends in Cardiff, Wales for the duration of her pregnancy. There, she meets some very special people who completely change her life — in ways she could never imagine.
Not only was this an engrossing story, but as always the narrator, Siobhan Waring (who is the voice of many of Ms. Grainger’s books), does her usual fantastic job of bringing ALL the characters to life.
If I have any complaints about Ms. Grainger’s books in general, it’s how quickly her characters fall in love (as happened again in this book). Also, when Lena’s water broke while out at dinner one night, suddenly she was in the hospital 30-minutes later pushing a baby out. Only in Ms. Grainger’s world does real life generally go quite that fast.
I enjoyed this book tremendously, and can’t wait to begin book two in the series!
