A SECRET double life is uncovered
when a businessman dies in a crash far from his home in America in a compelling
story from Irish author Ann O’Loughlin (pictured below).
The Secrets of De Courcy Square,
an emotional rollercoaster full of drama, discovery and the centuries old
language of flowers, comes from the pen of O’Loughlin, a leading journalist in
Ireland who has covered all major news events of the last three decades.

What if your life was built on a
lie... when Cora Gartland from Long Island, New York, learns that her partner
of ten years, Jack Gartland, has been killed in a car crash in Ireland, her
world falls apart.
But she soon discovers that there
was another woman in the car… a wife called Amelia he’d never told her about. ‘I
loved him; I thought I knew how he thinks, what made him tick. How can it be
that I end up merely an extra in his life story?’ she asks herself.
His last
request was that he be buried in Ireland so she flies to Dublin to try to make
sense of Jack’s secret parallel life at a pretty house in picture perfect De
Courcy Square, a place where warmth,
friendship and flowers seem to be all around her… and where others have their own problems too.
As she grieves, Cora must find the truth about Jack and Amelia… and then discover a way to move forward with her broken life.
O’Loughlin tugs at our heartstrings in this beautifully
imagined story of grief, families, the intertwining of lives… and the
bonds of female friendship which can prove to be the bedrock of some of the
most lasting human relationships. The perfect gift book for a
special mum…
