A MUST 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.

A heartbreaking, heartfelt, beautiful book.

♥️ You will LOVE the characters and miss them when you turn the last page. ♥️
