Who are the suggested target readers for House of Eire

Post by M Deedee »

I think this book will be perfect for a family read. It is a good book for parents and teenagers. The author expressed mother- daughter relationship and the role of parenting.

Yes I think it will fit into the category of a family novel best because of the historical Irish references described. It's the same as a family learning their family history through a book written by one who experienced it.

I feel that learning family history through first hand accounts can biased. Maybe this book overlooks some of the tainted point of views?

I quite agree. Sometimes there can be bias through first hand accounts but not in all cases. However all the lessons about family can not be totally discarded even though they might vary from family to family.

I quit agree with you. It is a pointer to the various challenges parents and their kids face. And it helps to build confidence and how to forge ahead.

This book is certainly a book for families so they can see how to get closer. A lot of times, parent-child relations are not as prominent as they should be and this book helps show that type of connection.

Thanks for all the recommendations that this book would be a good read for families. Does this mean it is appropriate for kids, no swearing or love-making? Or are you just saying that it is a family book because it highlighted an important family relationship? Could I read it aloud to my kids with worrying about inappropriate content?

I agree that this seems like a great family read. In my opinion, there's a lot of room for cultural heritage novels, and I'm glad to see books like this that are connecting families with their history.

This book would be great to bring families closer. Especially at a time when parents are unable to understand their children and vice versa.
The book to read is not the one that thinks for you, but the one which makes you think.

There were definitely family aspects to this book. Not sure if it would hold the attention of a YA reader, but some of the more mature ones might enjoy it.

I think you're right, except any point of view can be biased. Even if it came from the person you're learning about, or a friend of that person, or someone who doesn't necessarily like that person.

Besides that, I think it is interesting that you feel the book overlooks the tainted points of view. I wonder what that would mean for the book if it hadn't done that.
