FROM THE PUBLISHER
"It was sometimes called the echo cave, and if you shouted your question loud enough in the right direction, you got an answer instead of an echo..."

Clare and David—divided as children by a rigid social code that branded her as shanty Irish and him as gentry...brought together as adults by a desire that knew no class, no barriers, only the urgent hunger of two people destined to love—and ready to defy a world determined to keep them apart.

Even at fifteen, David Power knew the echo would answer eleven-year-old Clare O'Brien's dearest wish, to win a school prize. But it was years before Dr. Power's cherished only son saw in the huckster's daughter the answer to his own heart's desire. Here in Castlebay, perched precariously on the seaside cliffs, the lines between them were clearly drawn. Clare's only hope is to leave the town where time stopped, propelled by scholarships to Dublin, fueled by her own drive and brilliance, far from the insular, gossipy world of Castlebay and those in its thrall... Angela O'Hara, beautiful, insolated, a teacher trapped in the convent school, who risks everything to help Clare escape... Gerry Doyle, the town charmer who finds in Clare the woman he vows to have at any price... Caroline Nolan, the beautiful, rich outsider who comes to plunder...

For Clare, that was before the wild freedom of Dublin, and love. And David. Before fate drove them back to Castlebay, and the past...

This book has arrived safe and sound. Sooner than I could have possibly expected, as it was sent Global Express with one other book! Thank you! That was so nice and so very generous of you, especially with sending it so fast! You didn't need to -- I told you in my PM that I may take a long while reading this book because of my huge TBR, so you could have sent it surface and it would still be waiting for its turn in my TBR pile. I can't thank you enough for this lovely RABCK. Ever since reading Circle of Friends, I've wanted to read more of Maeve Binchy's works and now you've added two more of her titles to my mountain of TBR doom. ;) *hugs*

I'm trying to weed out my TBR and I realized I no longer have the same interest in Maeve Binchy's books as I used to so I'm sending this out as a RABCK to kittycatss, who had this book on her wishlist. :)
