"Maeve Binchy fans will adore it—she just gets better and better."—Patricia Scanlan

On Ireland's Finfarran Peninsula, summer means glorious weather and a life-changing choice for local librarian Hanna Casey in this delightful installment in the USA Today bestselling series, a captivating tale filled with all the beauty, charm, and warmth of Ireland that is perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Nina George, and Nancy Thayer.

Summer has finally arrived on Ireland's west coast. On the Finfarran Peninsula, Hanna Casey is looking forward to al fresco lunches with friends and balmy evenings with her boyfriend Brian in their stunning new home in beautiful Hag's Glen. With a painful divorce behind her and family drama finally settled, Hanna begins to plan a romantic holiday getaway for the two of them.

But life takes a turn when Brian's adult son suddenly moves in and Hanna unexpectedly runs into Amy, a former flatmate from Hanna's twenties in London. Reminded of her youth—and all the dreams and hopes she once had—Hanna begins to wonder if everything she now has is enough. When Amy suggests a reunion in London with old friends, Hanna accepts.

While it's only short hop to England, Hanna feels like she's leaving Brian far behind. And when she's offered a new opportunity—the chance to be more than a local librarian in the little rural community where she grew up—Hanna is faced with a difficult choice: to decide what her heart truly wants.

      Hayes-McCoy picks right up where The Month of Borrowed Dreams (2021) left off on the Finfarran Peninsula in Ireland. Librarian Hannah Casey's new life has come together beautifully. Her job is going well, she lives with her boyfriend Brian in a stunning home he built, and her daughter Jazz is thriving running her own company. Then Hannah's old flat mate, Amy, turns up at her library reminding her of her old life in London and the dreams she used to have. Hannah and Brian decide to take a trip together--that is until Brian's son Mike shows up unannounced with no end date to his visit. Hannah begins to feel slightly put out by Mike's presence and to ease her annoyance, she takes Amy up on her offer for a holiday. While in London, a new job opportunity arises and between that and Amy's meddling, Hannah is starting to feel that maybe her life in Finfarran is stagnant. While the main storyline is around Hannah and Brian, readers will get to know the secondary characters better in this novel. Maeve Binchy fans will love reading the latest in this charming series.
