It was fantastic to complete the story of Jo Devereux and find out the secrets of her family history after previously reading After The Rising. This book reads as a historical novel interspersed with a contemporary story which gave the book added resonance. I loved reading about Jo's life in San Francisco and how she escaped the Irish dramas for adventures of her own. The book also makes you think about the issues of family ties, which plague many of us, and how we have to ultimately return to the things we once ran from. It is both a mystery and a deeper look at love, grief and reinvention. Recommended.
