In the heart of County Wicklow, sisters Ella and Roberta O’Callaghan share a home—but not a life. Estranged for decades, they exist in bitter silence, speaking only through terse notes. But when financial ruin looms over Roscarbury Hall, Ella defies Roberta’s wishes and transforms the old ballroom into a café.
To Roberta’s dismay, the café thrives, forcing the sisters back into village life. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When a long-buried adoption scandal tied to the local convent emerges, the sisters are thrust into a reckoning with the past—one that stretches across the ocean and decades of heartbreak.
A modern Philomena, this bestselling UK novel is a poignant tale of family, loss, and redemption. Will the O’Callaghan sisters find peace—or remain trapped by the past?
