I came across this book during my visit to Dublin in June. My friend there had read it, and she sent me her copy as a surprise after I came back home to Australia (I'd deliberately not bought it as we were traveling on, and I didn't want to accumulate too many books). My friend had really enjoyed it too. I'm quite keen to read it. Some of my ancestors left Ireland because of the potato famine at that time, and so it holds an interest for me because of that too. I might have to see if I can wangle a way to move it a bit further up the TBR now. Thanks for your enthusiastic review Melody.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-34410687723477291912010-11-09T18:06:56.772-08:002010-11-09T18:06:56.772-08:00I was surprised by how good it was.

One of the girls in my book club thought it had been written ages ago because the language was so different from what she was used to.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-9474206280994917492010-11-04T19:55:18.267-07:002010-11-04T19:55:18.267-07:00Thanks for the review!
