review 1: I found this book to be very intense,not a typical romance story.Talking about love on a more gripping,intense way of the loss of a loved one.How their presence still lingers despite them being gone.How Mrs O'hara can choose to stay exactly where her son died,just had me confused.And the grief she had to endure,yikes.The way love can have you obsessed,in ways that Mr.MiddleHoff couldn't explain towards Harriett.The mingling of history and the conversations had me really interested.Josephine Hart has a very interesting way of using words.Kept me interested.Not those kind of books you just breeze through.I would definitely read more of her books.
review 2: The book starts off choppily - narrated from the point of view of a teenage boy after a terrible accident.
... moreI felt like I had to slog through a few chapters to figure out what was going on, and the slogging didn't get much better. It was a quick read, but not necessarily a good read. The author seemed to want to tell a lot about the history of Ireland from the 1950s to today, but everything was so obtuse that while I picked up a couple of things I wanted to read about on Wikipedia, I didn't learn very much from the book itself, and I didn't care much for her writing style. less
