Description

Three Irish boys. Three very different backgrounds. A bond that will be tested beyond all reason.

For Liam, Patrick, and Hugo, life in 1960s Ireland is both idyllic and flawed. Leading vastly different lives, an unexpected friendship blooms between the teenagers when they all attend a private boarding school. Hugo is an heir to a large fortune, while Liam and Patrick come from modest backgrounds and attend the prestigious St Bart's College on scholarships.

For the boys, life is both simple and complicated as they navigate a world in a constant state of flux. Rock and roll, girls and the lure of the dance hall vie with their studies for their attention, until a series of seemingly unconnected events throws them and their families into chaos. Can their friendship survive as they navigate love and loyalty, secrets and lies? Are they close enough to weather the gale, or will their separate struggles tear them apart?

Experience it all with Liam, Patrick, and Hugo as they face the beauty, turmoil, and endless possibilities of life under the turbulent Irish sky.

In Under Heaven's Shining Stars, author Jean Grainger is reminiscent of the late Maeve Binchy as she brings to life the struggles and simplicity that often go hand-in-hand with growing up.
