Popular romance writer Luanne Rice explores the interrelationships of four characters: a nun, her steadfast lover, their son, and a girl from a children's home whom he loves. This is a beautifully read story that examines the nature of love in its infinite variety: divine love, platonic adoration, parental love, spiritual bonding, family affection, and sexual love. Blair Brown guides listeners through this emotional, sentimental, even mystical story with grace and fluidity. Her grasp of accents--Irish, Boston, generic American--is perfect, and her delivery flawless. This is an enjoyable listening experience for romantics. D.L.G.

This pleasing romantic saga begins in a Catholic orphanage in Ireland with two orphans forming a strong emotional bond. Fast-forward 23 years, and orphans James and Kathleen, though still emotionally connected, are living apart, in Ireland and the U.S. James' birth parents, Sister Bernadette Ignatius and Tom Kelly, characters introduced in Rice's Sandcastles (2006), travel to Dublin to try and find the son they gave up prior to Bernadette entering the convent. Containing both native Irish and U.S. characters, the novel gives Lee opportunities to transition between accents. She easily reflects the Boston accent of an elderly nun as well as the upper-crust Newport, Rhode Island, accents of Kathleen's employers and other American dialects. Her gentle Irish brogue is never intrusive or over the top, nor is her subtle lowering of tones for the male characters. Moving along at a fast clip, this is a satisfying romance.
