The Mothers of Primrose Square
About this ebook
The Primrose Square books can all be read as standalones.
Welcome to Dublin’s most heartwarming neighbourhood, where the neighbours become friends and life is full of secrets and surprises.
At Number 19, eighty-something, Violet Hardcastle is the undisputed queen of rules and straight curtains. She’s perfectly content with her quiet, solitary life. But when new lodger Ling moves in, Violet's structured world is turned upside down by royal documentaries, aromatic Biang Biang noodles and the warmth of an unexpected friendship. Soon, Ling might just help Violet find the courage to face a heartbreaking secret she has hidden for sixty-four years.
Next door, aspiring actress Maeve is navigating flat-share politics with her best friend Stella and their perfect new housemate, Conor. Conor is helpful, kind and annoyingly handsome - but there's one giant, girlfriend-shaped obstacle standing in Maeve’s way.
While at Number 17, sixteen-year-old, forever the good girl, Amy's perfectly colour-coded life is suddenly thrown off-course. Facing an overwhelming crisis she can't carry alone, Amy must find the strength to navigate a future she never planned.
As the seasons change on Primrose Square, tears turn to laughter in an uplifting story about the families we are born with - and the ones we choose. Sometimes, the most unexpected arrivals are the ones that make us whole. Perfect for fans of Cathy Kelly, Marian Keyes and Shari Low.
