The Secrets of Primrose Square

Description

Can you guess what's hidden behind closed doors? It's late at night and the rain is pouring down on the Dublin city streets. A mother is grieving for her dead son. She stands silently outside the home of the teenage boy she believes responsible. She watches... In a kitchen on the same square, a girl waits for her mum to come home. She knows exactly where she is, but she knows she cannot reach her. A few doors down, and a widow sits alone in her room. She has just delivered a bombshell to her family during dinner. And an aspiring theatre director has just moved in to a flat across the street. Her landlord is absent, but there are already things about him that don't quite add up... Welcome to Primrose Square.

Claudia lives in Dublin. She's the author of fourteen novels - all bestsellers - three of which were optioned for film and TV. Claudia has always been grateful to her mentor Maeve Binchy, and stars in the Dublin-based soap opera Fair City.
