Hope

Praise for Mary Ryan "The saga has certainly made a comeback this season. This story is all the more interesting for being based on a true story.... It is extraordinary reading." ---- The Tatler[U.K.] on Hope "In the tradition of du Maurier and Bront ...a captivating raconteur, Ryan invests the misty, mysterious castle Dunbeg and its seaside setting with palpable atmosphere." --- Publishers Weeklyon The Song of the Tide "Ryan's skillful blend of misty Irish landscape, turbulent family relationships, nightmares, haunting, and obsessive, incestuous love is just what is needed to keep romance readers engrossed to the very end. Highly recommended." ---- Library Journalon The Song of the Tide " The Song of the Tideis a great page-turner, blending romance, passion, and fear in a way that is somewhat reminiscent of Heathcliff and Catherine." --- Denver Poston The Song of the Tide "Ryan has the Irish gift for storytelling. The Promisecaptures all the ardor of adolescent love and all the regret of a life misspent. She beautifully splices narratives, past and present, allowing readers to view the story from every angle." --- USA Todayon The Promise "The characters are deftly drawn and the plot seethes with violence, machinations, and greed." - Boston Heraldon GlenallenRyan, Mary is the author of 'Hope', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312309701 and ISBN 0312309708.
