review 1: In all honesty I can't think of anything positive about this book.Has the author actually been to Ireland, does she know anything other than what the Irish tourist board write about the country?This book has fake written all over it. I read it because I needed a book to read and a friend lent it to me, someone who knows that I know a lot about Ireland, and thought I would enjoy it. But it is a book written for American tourists to take with them to Ireland and give them something to pass away the time while sitting on a plane or waiting for a bus.The people and the culture do not resonate with the real world Irish. The town and its residents are as real as leprechauns or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The plot is just as unlikely as the people in it. As for the... more leading character, the grieving American fashion designer, she is just as much a figment of the author's imagination as the town of Glenmara. This book is just an embarrassment.
review 2: This was a quick read. It's a story set mostly in Ireland; about women who form a bond, it is a warm and comforting story. Full of pain, loss, struggle and the possibilities of the future, if this is the sort of thing you will enjoy this novel. The story also gives readers a glimpse of the socio-economic struggles of modern Ireland as well as the role of the R.C. Church in a fictional remote, country village. less
