Making Good

May 1972. A long-dreaded confrontation at a family funeral, a revelation at a birth, begins an eighteen month exploration of the lives of the Irish Donovan families and the Hertfordshire Burdocks. Sisters-in-law choose to be vengeful and avenging, brotherly love is repeatedly tested to extremes and family loyalties are tried and found to be occasionally fatal. Additionally, there is the unexpected reappearance of a man from a guilty past - is he the now-reformed character he claims to be? And should he be forgiven for silver-lined sins? Even as Bridie’s marriage approaches its seventh year she is still too often tempted to stray in the direction of her husband’s eldest brother, but for once Sean is not alone in trying to make good both his marriage and his wife. This is book Five in the Bridie and Sean family saga; books One to Three have been combined in Donovan & Burdock, book Four is Damage Limitation.
