Sisters of Belfast by Melanie Maure

Going to be a January and a 2024 favorite!!

A FABULOUS, WONDERFUL READ!!  

A bombing that killed their parents in 1941 in Dublin put twins Isabel and Aelish in an orphanage run by nuns.

Isabel was rebellious and Aelish was compliant.

Isabel escapes, but Aelish remains and becomes a nun.

In 1955, Isabel contacts her sister,  and Aelish makes the trip to Newfoundland where her sister is suffering from tuberulosis and just had twins.  Isabel asks for Aelish's help in caring or her and her twins.

Of course Aelish makes her way across the ocean to see her sister after all these years.

We follow Isabel and Aelish during the war and after the war learning of their lives in alternating chapters.

SISTERS OF BELFAST will pull you in from the very first page.

The writing is detailed and personable, the characters are ones that will have you feeling their every emotion, and the story line will capture your interest and your heart.
