Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews Girl gets boy (eventually) in this ebullient yet decorous romance involving an attractive upper-middle-class Irish-Catholic family in the years before and immediately... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I love books set in Ireland, and this one's a winner. Set just before WWI, upper-class Sabrina has led a stifling life with "The Mama" dictating every move. She meets Gerard at her sister's wedding and just begins to taste love, when the bomb drops for Sabrina: her mother decided when Sabrina was born that she would become a nun. Follow Sabrina's story as she and Gerard try to fight the odds to be together. The historical details are fantastic. On a recent trip to Ireland, my husband and I even visited many of the places mentioned, and they were just as described. A lovely, wonderful book.
