Wonderful piece of art
Having lived in Ireland myself for over 14 years this book had catapulted me right back to it. The way it was written could make you easily imagine you were right there.
Both timeperiods were comprehensible and realistic and well written so that I could feel with the main character even if I not always understood her perfectly. Nevertheless the whole story is logical and well worked though I predicted some outcome.
Voice was brilliant and easy to listen to.
I can only recommend it.

A beautiful heartbreaking slice of life!
I loved this story! A unique tragic slice of life filled with old truth and current comprehensive elements most women can relate with! I was sad this story was over but it gripped and tangled me from page one! the narrator was superb! I look forward to listening to more books both by this author and narrator!
