A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In a little Irish town like Kenmare, there's no need to worry whether people will discover your secrets. They already have.

For Mary, that means being remembered for her tragic losses, even if she'd rather get on with her life. For her cousin Ivan, as close as a brother, the gossip is all about how his wife took the kids and ran off with her new lover. For Mary's friend Penny, it's an old romance that didn't work out quite right, and a current affair with a bottle of vodka.

Then Sam Sullivan rents the cottage next door to Mary, and within hours the whole town is talking about the film-star-handsome American. When Sam hurts his back while helping his new neighbor and spends the next week confined to a mattress on her floor, gossip runs rampant. But neither Kenmare nor Mary know about the secrets Sam is so successfully hiding....

For Mary's circle of friends, Sam's arrival marks more than one change. And Mary whose unlucky history has kept her apart from the crowd much of her life has finally found a man with whom she feels she might truly connect. But so long as both are captive to memories they dare not reveal, the past is a barrier that will keep them forever alone.

In this powerful novel, Anna McPartlin perfectly captures the drama, the emotion, and the laughter of a small Irish community, for those who fit in and those who don't. Apart from the Crowd mixes wit and insight to create an engrossing tale that will keep you reading to the very last page.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Mary was born to be unlucky but she s a fighter and despite a painful past, part of her is still hopeful for a happy ending. She just needs someone to remind her. Sam is a waster and a disappointment. He once had it all, but that didn t stop the thing that haunts him from destroying everything. He just wants a fresh start. Penny s the life and soul of every party. She s also a drunk and some would say a home wrecker. No one knows how lonely she really is. Ivan s a gentleman. He shouldn t care about the woman who left him, taking his kids, but he does because deep down, he knows that something is not right. Adam loves his kids and for them he s given up the woman and town he loves, but Adam doesn t even like his wife and that s a problem. Five souls have five months to change their fate.
