She has a life to envy. An apartment in New York. A well-meaning (too well-meaning?) partner. And a high-flying job in beauty PR. Who wouldn?t want all that? Anna, it turns out. Trading a minor midlife crisis for a major life event, she switches the skyscrapers of Manhattan for the tiny Irish town of Maumtully (population 1,217), helping old friends Brigit and Colm set up a luxury coastal retreat. Tougher than it sounds. Newflash: the locals hate the idea. So much so, there have been threats ? and violence. Anna, however, worked in the beauty industry. There?s no ugliness she hasn?t seen. No wrinkle she can?t smooth over. There?s just one fly in the ointment ? old flame Joey Armstrong. He?s going to be her wingman. Never mind their chequered history. Never mind what might have been.
