International bestselling author Santa Montefiore continues the story of the Deverill family in the third book in her beautiful and moving Deverill Chronicles trilogy—perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Beatriz Williams.

“Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore. Everything she writes, she writes from the heart.” —Jojo Moyes,  #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You

1939: Peace has flourished since the Great War ended, but much has changed for the Deverill family as now a new generation is waiting in the wings to make their mark.

When Martha Wallace leaves her home in America to search for her birth mother in Dublin, she never imagines that she will completely lose her heart to the impossibly charming JP Deverill. But more surprises are in store for her after she discovers that her mother comes from the same place as JP, sealing her fate.

Bridie Doyle, now Countess di Marcantonio and mistress of Castle Deverill, is determined to make the castle she used to work in her home. But just as she begins to feel things are finally going her way, her flamboyant husband Cesare has other ideas. As his eye strays away from his wife, those close to the couple wonder if he really is who he says he is.

Kitty Deverill has come to accept her life with her husband Robert, and their two children. But then Jack O'Leary, the love of her life, returns to Ballinakelly. And this time his heart belongs elsewhere.

As long-held secrets come to light, the Deverills will have to heal old wounds and come to terms with the past if they hope to ensure their legacy for the future.

      In this third volume in the "Deverill Chronicles" (after The Girl in the Castle and The Daughters of Ireland), the author brings this family saga full circle, back to three little girls watching the glittering social whirl of the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy just before its demise. Cousins Kitty and Celia Deverill, with friend Bridie Doyle, have watched one another's fortunes rise and fall, and seen their positions reverse. Now their betrayals come back to haunt them. After all they have been through together and apart, the women are finally able to forgive themselves and one another, as all the secrets are laid bare. And their children are also finally able to lay the castle's ghosts to rest. VERDICT Readers who love long, intricate family epics will appreciate this rewarding historical trilogy but should read the first two volumes for background. Otherwise the story line of intertwined relationships, secrets, and lives will make no sense. The early 20th-century Irish setting will appeal to readers of Irish historical fiction as well as fans of stories set during World War I and the period between the two world wars.--Marlene Harris, Reading Reality, LLC, Duluth, GA
