The Edinburgh Bride

by Anne Douglas

Maeve O'Donovan has moved to Edinburgh in an attempt to forget her unrequited love for the man who has since married her cousin. Life in a strange city proves difficult and Maeve is shocked when she encounters prejudice against her Irish roots. When she loses her job as a maid, she is delighted to find a new position as an assistant in the wardrobe department of the Queen's Theatre. It's a new and exciting world for Maeve—not least because of the brooding Harry Alpin, a theater lighting man who harbors a desire to act. But will Harry’s prejudiced family ever be willing to accept an Irish girl as his bride?

[Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good book, she's not a good life but finds happiness in the end. It's a feel good book

[Sheila · Rating 2 out of 5]

A light read that was pleasant enough. Didn't like the short chapter style- disjointed reading.

[Sammi Heslop · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good and heartwarming towards the end
