This epic read is outstanding. I cannot give it five stars but would give it 4.5 in a heartbeat. The story of Fiona Finnegan and Joe Bristol makes for a wonderful read. It's a romance in many ways but it also leads the reader into the lives of others whose lives are entwined with Fiona and Joe. People like Nick, Michael, Teddy, Will and more Americans get to know Fiona while Joe has his own supporters in England. The stories seem about to blend together time and time again but do not until near the end.

The actions of cruel and manipulating people drive the actions of Fiona, particularly. Both Joe and Fiona are determined to make the lives of those they love (friends and family) better as well as share their wealth with those less fortunate than themselves. Fiona is driven not only by a need to succeed but a need for retribution not revenge for the death of her father and other family members. The author keeps the story moving easily so the reader is not tempted to put the novel aside. One can find faults in any novel but I will not list any here. All I can say is read this wonderful novel and enjoy it for what it is. It's a great read.
