Summary
Ballycreggan, Northern Ireland, 1955
Erich Bannon is happy in the small Irish village he has thought of as home since he arrived as a terrified, traumatised seven year old, one of the last Jewish children to escape Berlin in 1939. Now at twenty-three, it feels like all of his friends are drawn to The Promised Land, and he can understand why, but Israel is not for him.
One by one, they leave, and Erich is bereft. He feels lost but a chance encounter with an Irish Catholic girl gives him hope. All he and Róisín want is to be allowed to love each other but the traditions and rules of their backgrounds forbid it. By the time he learns that Róisín wasn’t honest with him about her family and what kind of people they really are, it is too late and he finds himself unwittingly embroiled in a dangerous world from which there seems to be no escape.
When Róisín disappears, events take a sinister turn and Erich wonders if their relationship really was all he thought it was.. Reluctant to place his family in danger, he has to solve his problems alone, something he’s never had to do before.
From rural Ireland, to the glitz of 1950’s America, from the orange groves of Israel to the dark streets of post-war Liverpool, The World Starts Anew, is the fourth book in the best-selling Star and the Shamrock series.

Excellent continuation of the series.
I’ve loved this series of books, and I’m rather sad that this feels like the end. Of course maybe it won’t be? I’m totally invested in the characters and their lives. Well written , researched and narrated.

Really enjoyed this series
WOW I have loved listening to this 4 book series, I really hope there is more BUT I know sometimes there is an end.
I felt every emotion throughout the series.
I don’t want to say too much as there is nothing worse than spoilers.
Thank you Jean loved every part and the person reading them has such a lovely voice it’s a joy to listen to her so thank you as well Siobhan.
Now to go listen to more of your series 😁
