How far must you run to truly escape your past?

Annie thinks she has found the answer when she leaves her home on the west coast of Ireland and boards a ship for New York. Irish maids are in demand in the 1920s, and she finds work with the wealthy Cavendish family in their opulent Fifth Avenue mansion.

Annie soon makes a friend, an Italian waitress named Elena. As their friendship deepens into something more passionate and dangerous for them both, however, Annie’s past rises up to haunt her. Once again she will be forced to flee.

A century later, in post-pandemic Ireland, Emer is also running, and finds a haven in her family’s home in West Kerry. But here, too, the past is refusing to die, and as Annie and Emer’s lives intertwine, long buried secrets are about to be revealed.

A Maid on Fifth Avenue is a heart-stopping novel new dual timeline novel, from the bestselling author of The Belladonna Maze.

Critics Review

Ireland’s past and present overlap in this stunning novel that combines history with a fascinating mystery. Sinéad Crowley writes with tremendous warmth balanced by enjoyably astute observation of how we live now. She has a deep understanding of the small joys and great sorrows in the lives lived by our ancestors. Enthralling, absorbing and entirely delightful
