FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ASK AGAIN, YES
Rural Ireland, the 1960s, and Greta Cahill must abandon her deserted village to follow her fearless sister Johanna onto a ship bound for America.
It's here in New York that she steps out of her sister's shadow and in to a life of her own, rich with love, work and family.
As the years pass Greta longs to revisit the past - to see her mother, to show her what she has made of herself - but she must protect a family secret, decades old.
So when her children conspire to unite the worlds she's kept so carefully apart, Greta fears she could lose it all...
A compassionate story of self-discovery and identity, The Walking People has remarkable range and power.
