review 1: I was a little disappointed in this book. My first Cathy Kelly book was "The Honey Queen" and, after reading that book, I thought the stories about her becoming "the next Maeve Binchy" were correct. This book, Once in a Lifetime, was just an ordinary story about 4 women that happened to take place in Ireland. The story revolves around a department store named Kenny's: the owner, his wife, his old girlfriend (who is clairvoyant), an employee of the store, and another young woman who doesn't have a mother and wants to know more about her mother who died. None of the story lines were compelling.I probably wouldn't read another Cathy Kelly book for a long time but......it's a long weekend, the library is closed, and I borrowed two of them. I hope the next one... more is more enjoyable.
review 2: Lots of characters whose life stories intertwined. Lots of life lessons learned by characters, but many were pat answers. Everyone had nearly unendurable pain that seemed to just disappear and morph into great happiness in the end. Liked many characters, but developed visceral hatred of others. That sometimes made it difficult to finish the book. Will probably read other books by this author since I love books set in Ireland, but I hope the next book has less tragedy. less
