LoveReading Says
December 2017 Book of the Month
A touching, heart-aching, yet feel good read, full of love and humour. It’s 2014, Stella and Rea live next door to each other but have never spoken, both are hiding their true selves, when they finally meet their lives begin to change. The first few sentences immediately set the tone, my breath caught, my imagination was snared and I settled in for an absolutely cracking read. A third story haunts the pages, it initially almost jars and breaks Stella and Rea's tale, yet gradually reveals a heart-breaking connection. This is the first Carmel Harrington book that I have read, I will be hunting down her others as she has an exquisitely light touch, yet deals with devastating issues with strength. The clever writing hooks thoughts and twists them, towards the end I thought I knew what was coming, however there were still surprises waiting in store. I wept at certain points in the storyline, yet hope plays a huge role in this readable tale. I can highly recommend ‘The Woman At 72 Derry Lane’, memorable, compassionate, and emotional, I loved it. ~ Liz Robinson
