Rich, warm, humorous and tender, this is a thoroughly satisfying tale of love - and tensions - between siblings, and the aftermath of a devastating loss. It's an unsentimental and touching portrait of a big family learning to live with grief and their differences, as they are drawn together by their shared past and then find they still have more to give each other than any of them could have imagined. * Ali Mercer *
Poignant and heartwarming. Be prepared to take the O'Shea sisters to your heart * Emma Robinson *
