The Irish Cottage: Finding Elizabeth - Paperback

by Juliet Gauvin (Author)

A story about losing your way and finding your life. Book 1 of 3. Elizabeth Lara built a perfect life as San Francisco's top divorce attorney, but when she loses her great-aunt Mags, the woman who raised her, she boards a plane and leaves it all behind. The Irish shores welcome her as she learns a shocking truth, kept secret for thirty-five years. Devastated and now alone in the world, Beth tries to find peace in a beautiful cottage by Lough Rhiannon, but peace isn't what fate had in mind. Almost as soon as she arrives, Beth's solitary retreat into the magic wilds of Ireland is interrupted by Connor Bannon. A man with light brown hair, ice blue eyes and a secret of his own. He's gorgeous, grieving, and completely unexpected. With the help of Mags' letters, the colorful townspeople of Dingle, and Connor, Elizabeth might just find a way back to the girl she lost long ago and become the woman she always wanted to be. A Note From Jules: Be forewarned you might not want to start this book late at night-several readers have reported "gobbling it up" and going on to the next book immediately. This book is literary women's fiction, it is not a traditional romance, per se. It's a trilogy, not a standalone. All three books are vital to the story: The Irish Cottage, The London Flat, and The Paris Apartment. If I crammed Elizabeth & Connor's story into one book it would be 1,000 pages long. So take a ride with me, first to Ireland and then the world. "If you enjoy Nora Roberts, you'll like Juliet Gauvin. The Irish Cottage is a fresh take on women's literary fiction, sometimes light and scrumptious and other times quite profound in its observations on life, love and loss." "A book that conveys the true feelings of Ireland when you visit...it's a bit of a romance, history, travel, and mystery neatly tied into a book well worth reading." "I started this book and couldn't put it down. It brought me to Ireland and I never wanted to leave." The Irish Cottage: Finding Elizabeth is an international women's literary fiction romance novel with three books in the novel series. Other themes include: romance literary fiction, women's sagas, love stories, and second chances at life.
