  <default_description>Evacuated from Blitz-battered London, shy and genteel Elizabeth White is sent to stay with the boisterous O&amp;#8217;Connors in Kilgarret, Ireland. It is the beginning of an unshakeable bond between Elizabeth and Aisling O&amp;#8217;Connor, a friendship that will endure through twenty turbulent years of change and chaos, joy and sorrow, soaring dreams and searing betrayals.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not one of Binchy's better novels. Most of the book a good story of two childhood friends and their journey into adulthood, but towards the end I felt there was just too much nicely tying up loose ends. ]]></body>
