'To hear a nightingale' is a modern novel by Charlotte Bingham.

Cassie's childhood is tragically abused, as she is brought up by a grandmother who despises her. She finds friends and some self-esteem in a convent school, and eventually falls in love with, and marries an Irish racehorse trainer.

She is blissfully happy until tragedy strikes. But gradually she picks up her life and succeeds as a woman in a man's world.

There are some very striking moments in this novel, unexpected twists in the plot, and a nicely rounded ending.
