Mulligan's Cottage

This romantic novel transports us from the landscape of southern Ireland to chic St Martin de Ré in France. It is the story of Roisin Lanigan, the young and lovely daughter of shipbuilder Paddy, her Mother, the feisty Maggie and her brother Tommy. When an unexpected visitor arrives on the day of the local fair lives are turned upside down as sweeping changes are brought about. The Mulligan family rule the roost from their sumptous manor house, but even the rich and powerful do not escape tragedy and loss. Why does Roisin inherit Mulligan's cottage and why must she flee to France in order to guard a secret which will come to light years later when young Hannah Lanigan visits her family home in Kilroon, Ireland?
