Hello Dianne
How nice of you to write. The Girls from Ennismore was the first book I've had on audio, so I really appreciate your feedback. The woman who recorded it lives in Los Angeles, but she was born in Belfast, and, therefore, she was really familiar with Irish accents. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Let me know when you have read the other 2 books. Would love to hear from you again.
All Best,

Quotes by Patricia Falvey  (?)

“Secrets are like the cancer of families. Like tumors, they grow ever larger, and if they are not removed, they suffocate the mind and spirit, and spawn madness. As long as they remain, they cast a shadow on every truth that is uttered, clouding it, constricting it, disporting it. Secrets hurt the secret keeper as much as the poor souls from whom the secret is kept. And even once the secret is out, its shadow echoes into the future, the remnants of its memory leaving us vigilant and fearful.”
Patricia Falvey, The Yellow House

“I know what it means, Brendan cut in gruffly, I'm not ignorant for fuck's sake.”
Patricia Falvey, The Girls of Ennismore
