Today I am pleased to share with you my review of this wonderful new family saga from Faith Hogan. Thank you to Aria Fiction for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Irish countryside the famed mills have created the finest wool in all of Ireland. Run by the seemingly perfect Corrigan family, but every family has its secrets, and how the mills came to be the Corrigan's is one of them...
Miranda and her husband were never meant to own the mills, until one fateful day catapults them into a life they never thought they'd lead.
Ada has forever lived her life in her sister's shadow. Wanting only to please her mother and take her place as the new leader of the mill, Ada might just have to take a look at what her heart really wants.
Callie has a flourishing international career as a top designer and a man who loves her dearly, she appears to have it all. When a secret is revealed and she's unceremoniously turfed out of the design world, Callie might just get what's she's been yearning for. The chance to go home.
Simon has always wanted more. More money, more fame, more notoriety. The problem child. Simon has made more enemies than friends over the years, and when one of his latest schemes falls foul he'll have to return to the people who always believe in him.
Ballycove isn't just a town in the Irish countryside. It isn't just the base of the famous mills. It's a place to call home.
My Review
This is a wonderful family filled read that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
This book is set in the beautiful Irish countryside and is based on the lives of the Corrigan Family who own and run the famous Corrigan Mills.
This story explains how the family came to own the Mills and all of the secrets that all have been keeping to themselves.
The story mainly revolves around the life of Miranda. You start with reading about the childhood of Miranda and how hard that was. You get a good insight into her humble beginnings and how her life was formed bringing her to where she is today. The book does go back and forth from her childhood to her present life.
You get to meet her three children who between them all are having issues in their own lives that none of them want to face up to or burden their mother with.
Ada is the oldest of the three siblings and works alongside her mother at the Mills. She is desperate for her mother to retire so that she can take over the running of the mills. Her life revolves around the mills and this is at a cost to her relationship with her husband. Miranda doesn't believe however that Ada is the right person for the job.
Simon is the middle child and lives in Dublin. All his life has revolved around money and he has gone from failure to failure costing him and plenty of his friends vast sums of money over the years. This time things are at their worst and he is heading back home to lick his wounds and figure out his next move.
Callie is the youngest child of Miranda and has made a huge success of herself as a fashion designer. Unfortunately one of her plans has backfired and she is now heading back home too. She is desperate to keep what has happened a secret while she is planning what she wants to do with her life.
With all three of her children back in Ballycove, Miranda could not be happier and maybe now she can decide who to hand over the Mills to especially with her health beginning to affect her. But which one of her children will be best suited to the job? and will all of the secrets that are being revealed will the family all be able to stay together?
I loved this family saga from start to finish. The writing style of this book is wonderful. it flows well and keeps you absorbed from the first page to the last. I enjoyed how the story went from the present day to the past and back again. This gave you. good insight into the past of Miranda and explained how ownership of the mills became the Corrigans.
I found all of the characters very different and getting to know all of them was interesting especially with all the secrets they are all hiding too.
This is a wonderful read and one you will enjoy from start to finish.
