Product Information

Before we know it, Maggie is offering to "help" her situation with her so called best friend. Then things go from bad to worse with her so called stalker. If IF you can forget that in 2022 ( probably ) all of us would stop to see if we could help or at least call for help if we suddenly saw a woman in a wedding dress crying and about to jump off a bridge from our car window BUT few if any of us would actually take the distressed lady home and let them wheedle their way into our lives overnight, then you are in for a great story, I struggled with the idea for a few chapters then threw caution to the wind as the writing was so pleasing and from then on in loved it. I still hadn’t made a decision to write a book, but I knew I wanted to put the stories together. As I began to write and became immersed in the unique dilemmas that faced the men and women I was writing about, the novel took shape.

I do enjoy books like this, I never used to read Historical fiction but find as I get older I am enjoying it more and more. Plus my history isn't the best so I generally find within reading books like this I stop and research & O'Flanagan does a great job bringing to life the characters and a time period of history. The violence and deprivation of wartime, the struggles of the men, the courage of the women who had to stand up for their families, their resistance in the shadows or prison, women's rights and the ravages of Spanish flu and tuberculosis are also covered. Munch was one of a number of exceptional portrait artists in Europe at around this time. In Austria you will find Gustav Klimt, an artist whose style was related, but also different in some ways. He also liked to use the beauty of the female body with his paintings, as shown with the likes of The Kiss, Judith with the Head of Holoferne and also Emilie Floege. Both Klimt and Munch would use expressive techniques, but the latter tended to use much less detail and concentrate more on creating an atmosphere within his work. Both are now considered amongst the most famous artists in history, and left behind two huge collections of work across a variety of different artistic disciplines. Munch himself found certain models that he would use again and again but in the case of the painting before us here, The Women on the Bridge, he would only have worried about the lady standing closest, as the others have their heads turned away. He then began pleading with me not to publish the full account of this story. His self-assuredness vanished and he started to stutter. He came to my office. He told me that writing about his affair would torment his ailing mother and inflict pain on his wife and his children. At one point he promised that if I withheld the story he would abandon public life. On another visit he told me a story about a rabbi who as a young man wanted to save all the Jews in the world. In middle age he wanted to save the Jews of Poland, and when he had grown old he hoped to save just one Jew, himself. “I am that rabbi,” he said.

They stripped to their underclothes and dove into the East River together, life preservers in hand. When they reached Estelle, she was conscious. The patrolmen put the preserver over her head and began to swim, but the struggle in the icy-cold water threatened to drown them. All three ended up being rescued by a passing fishing boat. At the heart of the story is Charlotte’s childhood friend, Anne, who wants her out of the way. This made little sense…and as we uncover more details about Anne and her situation I felt it made even less sense.

Estelle Evans was still alive. She told police about the letter that broke her heart and destroyed her spirit. She was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital and underwent hours-long surgery for extensive internal injuries. Three stars from me usually means that I believe the author has achieved their aims, and it’s a good book but that I personally didn’t fall in love with it.Estelle kept her roommate completely up-to-date on her involvement with Mike. She had to tell someone she’d met her husband-to-be, and Laura, who was almost a decade older than Estelle, made the best possible confidante. Estelle’s family knew, too. She’d taken Mike to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where she’d grown up, over the Christmas holidays to meet her parents, older sisters, nephews, and nieces. The protagonist of this story was loosely based upon the life of the author's grandmother. A strong woman who was swept up in events not of her choosing, yet keeping her own beliefs and strong personality throughout. Winnie O'Leary lives with her family in Dublin. Starting in 1920, we follow her throughout her life, through Bloody Sunday and the Irish War of Independence, then the Irish Civil War, when her husband was jailed as a political prisoner for his partisan leanings. The Woman On The Bridge is a celebration of early Irish history with a strong female lead inspired by the writers own family and past. A stranger in need - would you invite them into your home? The electrifying new thriller from Holly Seddon. An excellent book taking the reader on an historical journey looking at the troubles in Ireland in the 1920’s. Romance and loyalty runs through this true life story as it is based on the authors family. In particular her grandparents, Winnie and Joseph. I was educated as well, whilst I was reading the novel. My knowledge was very limited on how the Irish war started. Even to this day the problems still exist.
