The Years That Followed

The Years That Followed

by Dunne Catherine (Author)

Synopsis

Inspired by Greek mythology, The Years That Followed is a compelling tale of two women, thousands of miles apart, whose lives are thrown into turmoil by the power of love - and the desire for revenge.

Revenge is sweeter than regret . . .

It is 1966. Calista is seventeen, beautiful and headstrong. She meets the handsome Alexandros, and in an instant her whole life changes. Alexandros is magnetic, much older - and rich. He sweeps Calista off her feet. She leaves her safe, affluent Dublin home for a different life in Cyprus alongside her new husband. But his family treat her with suspicion.

Meanwhile, Pilar is desperate to leave the grinding poverty of her life in rural Extremadura, so she moves to Madrid. There, she meets a man who offers her excitement and opportunity. Petros charms Pilar, and she begins to imagine a future with him - although she knows it's impossible for them to be together.

Unknown to both women, tragic events are unfolding that will inextricably link their lives in a way that neither could have imagined - events that will change them and their families forever.

I was utterly enthralled from beginning to end -- Liz Nugent In Calista and Pilar, Dunne has created two very different, but equally intriguing characters, and it is impossible not to root for them as they battle to forge their own way in a world where men hold sway Irish Independent Lived-in, hardearned feminism swirled with a noir tone and dark turns makes for a great read Kirkus Reviews Poignant and satisfying Booklist Catherine Dunne can write passion, both in love and in hate, with a force rarely found in her contemporaries ... a masterful novel Books Ireland
