Synopsis

In this enchanting collection of warm, poignant and romantic interlinked short stories Sheila O'Flanagan transports her readers to the Caribbean island resort of White Sands, where visitors arrive hoping their dreams will come true - which they sometimes do. In touching, poignant and delicious tales of life by the ocean, Sheila introduces some of the most likeable and interesting characters she's created. There's Tara, who's arrived with the man she wants to marry only to find that a rejected lover is planning to get in the way; Grainne, who's been sent with her husband by their children to celebrate their anniversary, and who thinks the time has come to move on. Rudy's on an idyllic break with his young son which is set for an unexpected ending; and Isobel - of ISOBEL'S WEDDING - discovers her ex-lover Nico might be staying just next door. Romance is very much alive in the hot Caribbean nights...

Revue de presse

'These are fabulous stories: clever, involving, moving, funny, sad, everyone of them . . . this is the perfect book to bring on a flight. (Evening Herald)

'I'm not an aficiondo of chick-lit, but if this qualifies for the genre then I have become one. Every human emotion is here . . . (Irish Examiner Weekender)

'Connections is a fabulous compilations of short-stories . . . while each story is complete in itself, together they merge into a vastly entertaining novel. Reviewing Sheila O'Flanagan is a double-edged sword - I get to read it before anyone else, but when it soome down to holiday time I'm down on one of my favourite authors. My advice is to save it for the vacation.' (Ireland on Sunday)
