Previously published in the United Kingdom as DAUGHTERS OF CASTLE DEVERILLIreland. 1925. The war is over. But life will never be the same..."Everything Santa Montefiore writes, she writes from the heart," says JOJO MOYES. See why in this unforgettable story of love, loss, and life, perfect for fans of DOWNTON ABBEY and KATE MORTON.In the green hills of West Cork, Ireland, Castle Deverill has burned to the ground. But young Celia Deverill is determined to see her ruined ancestral home restored to its former glory -- to the years when Celia ran through its vast halls with her cousin Kitty and their childhood friend Bridie Doyle.Kitty herself is raising a young family, but she longs for Jack O'Leary -- the long-ago sweetheart she cannot have. And soon Kitty must make a heartbreaking decision, one that could destroy everything she holds dear.Bridie, once a cook's daugher in Castle Deverill, is now a well-heeled New York City socialite. Yet her celebrity can't erase a past act that haunts her still. Nor can it keep her from seeking revenge upon the woman who wronged her all those years ago.As these three daughters of Ireland seek to make their way in a world once again beset by dark forces, Santa Montefiore shows us once more why she is one of the best-loved storytellers at work today.

British writer, Santa Montefiore grew up on a farm in Hampshire and attended Sherborne School for Girls. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming a writer, which led her to earn a degree in Spanish and Italian Language from the University of Exeter. She converted to Judaism in 1998 and married a historian, from whom she took her surname, Montefiore.

She spent the 1990s in Buenos Aires, where her curiosity about the South American country was awakened, which has notably nourished her work. She published her first novel in 2001 and has since released various titles, with her biggest successes being Under the Ombu Tree, The Butterfly Box, The Swallow and the Hummingbird, and The Last Voyage of Valentina.

Montefiore's production is highlighted by the Deverill Chronicles series, consisting of Songs of Love and War, Daughters of Castle Deverill, The Last Secret of the Deverills, and Time of Secrets at Deverill.

The author's writing style is classic romantic, with magnificent descriptions and displaying great imagination.
