Presided over by the domineering Evelyn Burnley, it was once filled with life and people but now is a place with a distinct lack of gossip-worthy news. But, in the spring of 1953, all of that is about to change.Evelyn's eldest daughter, Lili, forms a tenuous relationship with a farmer on the Lane, Ewan Cameron. Meanwhile Wren Stevens, a timid girl banished from the household of her mentally ill mother, arrives in the local town to take up residence with her wealthy Great-aunt Astrid. Here, Wren blossoms under the positive influence of Astrid and catches the eye of several young men. However, it is Bertie Burnley, Evelyn's only son, who makes the greatest impression on her.As the seasons change each of them experiences family difficulties, the joy of love, the pain of loss and the sting of betrayal. They learn that love can bring out the best in people -and the worst. And they realise that no matter how close they become, everyone can keep secrets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah McNiven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781994188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781994184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poolbeg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Hannah McNiven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127365464319,"sku":"9781781994184","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a584e4c-43d4-4e11-b68a-dc78fa243a70.jpg?v=1687453154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-birds-of-bachelor-lane-hannah-mcniven-9781781994184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
