Tell me your Secret
Set in Ireland in 1944, Deirdre Purcell's eleventh novel tells the tale of an idealistic and strong-willed woman who fell victim to the narrow social confines of her time. 16-year-old Violet Shine, daughter of a Protestant Ascendancy family, falls in love with a local farm boy. When their affair is discovered, Violet's parents take drastic measures and lock their daughter into a tower room at the family's home, Whitecliff. Sixty years later, estate agent Claudine Armstrong is involved in the sale of the now derelict Whitecliff. As she begins to unravel the Big House's secrets, Claudine discovers a connection to Violet that will help her navigate through her own troubles in boom-time Ireland.
