Stones Corner, Light - Buckley, Jane E

. .

Résumé :
Stones Corner: Light (Volume Three in the Stones Corner Series) The electrifying continuation of Jane Buckley's Stones Corner series, Light transports readers from war-torn Derry to London in the early 1980s - a world of ambition, betrayal, and forbidden love. Determined to escape her past, Caitlin McLaughlin builds a new life in England, surrounded by luxury and security. Yet the ghost of her lost love, James Henderson, refuses to fade. Back in Derry, James fights to save the Rocola shirt factory from collapse, trapped in a loveless marriage to a manipulative heiress. When the Provos' ruthless campaign triggers a devastating kidnap plot, the two are pulled together once more - their choices bound by duty, torn by love, and shadowed by deceit. A tale of conflict, sacrifice, and the price of survival. Bound by duty. Torn by love. Haunted by truth. When all seems lost, hope finds a way. Amid the chaos, glimmers of change emerge. A burgeoning women's movement crosses sectarian divides, and the shift from violence to politics begins to stir. But just as Northern Ireland dares to hope for peace, tragedy strikes in London, threatening to destroy everything they've fought for. Inspired by true events, Stones Corner: Light is a gripping, deeply human story of resilience, courage, and love in a divided land - where the fight for peace hangs by a thread. For readers of Louise Kennedy's Trespasses, Anna Burns's Milkman, and Lisa McGee's Derry Girls....
