A Choir for Thursday

When the roof starts leaking in the town’s shabby-but-beloved community hall, nobody expects the Thursday choir to become the glue holding everyone together. Rowan, a widowed father doing his best not to over-rescue the world, just wants a place where his daughter can breathe steady. Eliza, the hall manager with a pencil behind her ear and a spreadsheet heart, believes in kettles, rotas, and fixing things the right way — even when the budget says otherwise.
As fairy lights replace miracles and a ledger of “Friends of the Hall” grows like stubborn hope, Thursdays turn into something sacred: music, biscuits, small courage, and second chances. When love sneaks in — quiet, practical, breathtaking — Rowan, Eliza, and Mara must figure out whether the life they’re building can hold as strongly as the roof they saved.
Tender, witty, deeply human, and gloriously Irish at heart, A Choir for Thursday is a love story wrapped inside community — about choosing small kindnesses, about grief that doesn’t disappear but softens, and the gentle bravery it takes to keep showing up.
Perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary, Jojo Moyes, and readers who believe ordinary life can be extraordinary.
