Publisher's Summary

An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller.

In an unforgettable love story, a woman’s impossible journey through the ages could change everything....

Anne Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.

The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy’s long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman’s disappearance is connected to her own.

As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland’s independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she’d find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?

GREAT story!!

A little slow to start but then it rolls so well. I listened to this over a day and a half bc it was so engaging and the storyline has had me thinking even after. I would recommend this for sure. And the actors doing the reading were awesome.

Great listen

The story is compelling, characters are believable and the narrators are really, really good. A sequel would be welcome in my library.

Never Wanted This Book to End

I cannot provide a scholarly book review. What I’d like to share is that this book, in a seemingly effortless way, transported me back in time to the world that was Ireland during the Rising and the Troubles.
I also found myself delighted, immersed in the beauty of Amy Harmon’s skilful, lyrical use of descriptive language.
What the Wind Knows weaves historical events into an achingly beautiful love story; a beautiful fantasy, rich with exquisite imagery and profound emotion.
To compliment the novel, the narrators were perfect. Their Irish brogue worked unfailingly to deepen the stunning tapestry of the story.
I’ve been haunted by this novel ever since I finished it. I never wanted the story to end.

A page turner if the book was in my hand. A unique story brilliantly acted out by the narrators Saskia Maarleveld and Will Damron. It has all the elements and history. A must read!

Compelling and beautifully written

This is a beautiful story, with compelling characters and perfectly narrated. It’s my first Amy Harmon story but definitely not my last! I was sorry when it came to an end.
