Mary Rose is rich, selfish, decadent and dissatisfied. Her friend Anna is poor but blessed with Celtic powers of second sight and innate goodness - gifts which lead her into unbearable knowledge, joyous love and crippling loss. The story is set between 1916 and 1946 in war-torn Europe.
Really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters, the time set during the second world war and the effect it had in Italy was very interesting and not often spoken about. The characters being mostly of Irish and Italian decent were close to my heart. At times I did not want to put this book down.
