What Members Thought
I am not finished this book but, I have noticed a difference between Irish and English Authors. English characters have events happen that change their lives. They go off in a different direction or theirs eyes are opened to some new world. Often in the novels they look back with fondness. On the other hand, When an event happens to an Irish Character their life is ruined. There is no forgiveness. An event totally out of their control just ruins everything and everyone around them.

My new favorite writer. A book to make you stop and just love the use of words.
What a stunning book. Really enjoyed it - though sad the ending is very heart warming. The two main characters are so vivid and real.
Excellent plot; well written.
