Summary:
LETTING GO FOR GOOD . .. Once, Jane Moore and Alexandra Walsh wereinseparable, sharing secrets and stolen candy, plotting their futures
together. But when Jane became pregnant at seventeen, they drifted
slowly apart. Jane has spent the years since raising her son, now
seventeen himself, on her own, running a gallery, managing her
sister’s art career, and looking after their volatile mother—all the
while trying not to resent the limited choices life has given her.
Then a quirk of fate and a faulty elevator bring Jane into contact
with Tom, Alexandra’s husband, who has some shocking news. Alexandra
disappeared from a south Dublin suburb months ago, and Tom has been
searching fruitlessly for her. Jane offers to help, as do the
elevator’s other passengers—Jane’s brilliant but self-absorbed
sister, Elle, and Leslie Sheehan, a reclusive web designer who’s
ready to step back into the world again. And as Jane quickly
realizes, Tom isn’t the only one among them who’s looking for
something . .. or traveling toward unexpected revelations about love,
life, and what it means to let go, in every sense. In this insightful
and irresistible novel, by turns profound, poignant, and laugh -
out-loud funny, acclaimed Irish writer Anna McPartlin tells a story
of friendship and love, of the families we are born into and the ones
we create for ourselves, and of the hope and strength that remain
when we fi nd the courage to leave the past behind at last.
