Tara's Fortune (Audio cassette)

Tara Flynn has come along way since she grew up in the village of Ballygrace, Ireland. Now mistress of Ballygrace House, the beautiful mansion overlooking the Tullamore countryside, Tara has everything she'd always dreamed of - security, a beautiful home, and the love of a good man. But the Irish have an expression - 'the two days', meaning good and bad fortune, and fortune has a way of dealing an unexpected card in the pack. Tara may have everything she's always dreamed of, but can she hold on to it? Meanwhile in Stockport, Tara's dear friend Biddie has problems of her own. She too escaped a troubled past and built a new home away from Ballygrace. When her husband is seriously injured, Biddie must once again begin taking care of herself. As Tara's sixteen-year-old niece arrives at her boarding-house, Biddie realises she'll need eyes in the back of her head if she's to keep young Angela in check... Set in the Ireland and England of the early 1960s, Tara's Fortune is the story of two women making their way in the world, a touching, heart-warming tale of friendship and ambition, with the irresistible warmth that hallmarks Geraldine O'Neill's writing.
