How far can a kiss be thrown? As far as the stars, and further . . .
Dubliner Murrey Pogue arrives in Chicago determined to forget her tortured past. Reeling from the disastrous adventures that punctuate her off-beat world (populated by petty thieves and pimps, gun-toting drug addicts and crazed religious zealots), her fresh hope arrives in the form of the suave, sophisticated Manfredi. The unlikely couple become entangled in a passionate affair more intense than either has ever known.
But distance alone can't obliterate the pain of Murrey's former life, and she is drawn back to Ireland and the mother she left behind in a bid to understand the childhood tragedy that overshadows her life. But in deserting her new-found life and love, has Murrey come to terms with her past, only to say farewell to future happiness?
In fresh and lucid prose, Lana Citron has written a thoroughly modern romance; a wryly observed and achingly acute portrait of love and loss, traversing the Atlantic.
