Tara Road is a heart‑warming and uplifting novel that tells the story of two very different women whose lives are changed when they decide to swap homes for the summer. Ria Lynch lives in a bustling, warm Victorian house in Tara Road, Dublin, surrounded by family and friends with all the chaos and support that implies. Meanwhile, Marilyn Vine leads a quieter, more private life in Connecticut, USA, still coping after a personal tragedy. A chance phone call brings them together, and an idea — to exchange homes across the Atlantic — leads to unexpected healing, new friendships, and life‑changing insights as they learn to live each other’s lives for a short time
