From an author praised for her “genuinely perceptive portrayals of human relationships,” a historical family saga and sequel to Shoddy Prince (Irish Independent).
After twenty-two years’ estrangement, Bright Maguire and Nat Prince are joyously reunited and plan to start a new life in Australia. Their daughter Oriel isn’t thrilled by the return of her long-absent father, but can she put aside her feelings and accompany them?
After the horrors of the Great War, Oriel is one of the ‘Bright Young Things’ eager to cast aside restrictions of the bygone era. Her charitable traits act as a magnet for those who would take advantage, propelling her to the brink of tragedy . . .
From the bestselling author of the Feeney sagas, A Complicated Woman will enchant fans of Rosie Goodwin, Maggie Hope and Val Wood.
