Women's Fiction Contemporary | Contemporary Chick Lit
In a little Irish town like Kenmare, there's no need to
worry whether people will discover your secrets. They
already have.
For Mary, that means being remembered for her tragic losses,
even if
she'd rather get on with her life. For her cousin Ivan, as
close as a
brother, the gossip is all about how his wife took the kids
and ran off
with her new lover. For Mary's friend Penny, it's an old
romance that
didn't work out quite right, and a current affair with a
bottle of
vodka.
Then Sam Sullivan rents the cottage next door to Mary, and
within hours
the whole town is talking about the film-star-handsome
American. When
Sam hurts his back while helping his new neighbor and spends
the next
week confined to a mattress on her floor, gossip runs
rampant. But
neither Kenmare nor Mary know about the secrets Sam is so
successfully
hiding....
For Mary's circle of friends, Sam's arrival marks more
than one
change. And Mary -- whose unlucky history has kept her apart
from the
crowd much of her life -- has finally found a man with whom
she feels
she might truly connect. But so long as both are captive to
memories
they dare not reveal, the past is a barrier that will keep
them forever
alone.
In this powerful novel, Anna McPartlin perfectly captures
the drama,
the emotion, and the laughter of a small Irish community,
for those who
fit in -- and those who don't. Apart from the Crowd
mixes wit and insight to create an engrossing tale that will
keep you reading to the very last page.
