The continuation of the spellbinding ‘Hamilton’ saga - Sam Hamilton and Robert Scott are now in their fifties, with families of their own, and are grateful to have work during a time of much unemployment. However, they have little joy in their lives. Set in Ulster, the saga of the two families continues through the troubled 1930s. This is a tale of courage and friendship, of disappointment and achievement, and ultimately of the triumph of love.

Review
Doughty's Hamilton saga continues in Armagh, in the north of Ireland, in 1932. Ellie Scott has lived here all her life and has known neighbor George for almost as long. The two want to marry, but given the depressed economy, they can't afford to set up housekeeping. So George decides to work for his uncle's timber business in Canada. As soon as he has saved enough money, he says, he'll send for her. But time goes by, with no date and precious little contact forthcoming. Meanwhile, Ellie is enjoying her job at the draper and time spent socially with her coworkers. Sam Hamilton had been nursing a broken heart until he meets Ellie. Knowing she is promised to another, he bides his time. As for Ellie, she thinks of herself as a person who keeps her promises, but waiting for George is prompting her to question what and who she really wants in this absorbing tale that is both of its time and timeless. --Booklist, 1st May 2009
