Tara Road

'Reading a Maeve Binchy book is like slipping into a scented warm bubble bath.' (Five Star Reader Review)

'A wonderful story of family and friends, love and betrayal.' (Five Star Reader Review)
_____________


Ria and Marilyn have never met, but they're about to swap lives...

Ria Lynch lives in a big, warm, Victorian house in Tara Road, Dublin, where her life revolves around family and friends. Marilyn Vine lives thousands of miles away in a quiet, modern house in New England. After a terrible loss, she has closed herself off from the world.

Two more unlikely friends would be hard to find, but when each needs a place to escape to, a house exchange seems the ideal solution. Along with the borrowed houses come neighbours and friends, gossip and speculation, and Ria and Marilyn soon realise that swapping lives won't be the peaceful escape they'd been hoping for... Though it might turn out to be exactly the change they both needed.
