review 1: The Sea and The Silence (kindle) by Peter Cunningham. The heroine has just died and has given her solicitor two volumes to read, after which he is to destroy. Britain and Ireland are changing, and in 1950, the changing scenario became really apparent to Iz, the heroine. Under pressure for alot of things, she chooses to follow her own way and does so. Each of the books says alot both of her own history, the history of her husband and the history of Ireland in general during her adult lifetime. I found it a very drawing book, read it in a day (and yes) it would have been nice to draw it out more, but that didn't work out that way somehow, with my own needs and schedules. I'd really recommend the book for anyone who might be interested in the well presented characters ... moreand their lives, and the subject matter.
review 2: Although the first half of the book seemed rather ordinary and unexceptional, it was still entertaining. Of course I am drawn to anything Celtic, which this book is. Then we come to the second half of the book and the reader is plunged into the back-story. Suddenly, Iz, the main character is seen as the sensitive and loving young woman who is struggling to live her own life and not the life being imposed on her by her family and society. The reader is shown what she lived through and experienced. It is like a lens being manipulated in order to bring clarity to a picture of a life out of focus. less
