From the back cover: "Growing up in a small seaside town in the 1950's, Clare O'Brien and David Power shout their hearts' desires into the echo cave, praying that their destiny will lead them far away from the town in which they live. Years later they meet again in Dublin, where David is studying medicine and Clare has won a scholarship to University College. But eventually Castlebay will draw them back and it is against a backdrop of empty grey skies, sea-spray and wind that this drama of ambition, betrayal and love finally reaches its turbulent conclusion."

Finished reading this one today - - just in time to release for the 'Celebrate the Irish' Challenge. This book was alright, but I had to push myself at times to keep reading as it seemed to get a little bogged down in details. In typcial Maeve Binchy style, the lives and dreams of those living in a small Irish village are exposed with emotions often rising from just below the surface.
