When teenage Fiona falls in love, she believes a wonderful future is just beginning. But when she becomes pregnant, her world is torn apart. Sent away in shame and silenced by her family, she gives birth to a daughter she names Lorna — a baby she was never even allowed to hold and who was adopted without her consent. Heartbroken and powerless, Fiona leaves Ireland, determined to build a life no one can take from her. In Italy, she reinvents herself as a successful model, dazzling on the outside while inside grief gnaws at her. Love comes and goes. So does hope. Years later, Fiona returns to Dublin, wealthy, polished but carrying secrets in her heart. Over time, one ache never fades: the daughter she lost — and the boy she left behind. Old wounds drive her to make dangerous choices and the life she has carefully carved out for herself begins to break down. Can she still hope for forgiveness? Can she still find her way home? A gripping, emotional story about the long shadow of the past — and the courage it takes to face the truth.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
