Kate and John Ryan are happy in Mountfern, a peaceful and friendly village - and, for their four young children, an unchanging backdrop to a golden childhood. The summers are long and hot, and the twins Michael and Dara, and their siblings Eddie and Declan have, in the ivy-clad ruins of Fernscourt, the once-grand house on the bank of the river burned down during the Troubles, a place to play like no other.
Then Patrick O’Neill, an Irish American with a great deal of money in his pocket, buys the ruins of Fernscourt. No-one in Mountfern could have guessed what Patrick’s dream would mean for their small village, and it’s not until the very end of this tale of love won and lost that Patrick O’Neill himself will understand the irony and significance of his grand dream for Fernscourt…
