I think because of the interesting mother-daughter relationship throughout House of Eire, it would be great for families and young adults.

This book will be beneficial to parents, and also inspirational to those struggling with their past.

This could make a great book for a mother-daughter book club. I don't usually see mystery novels with a protagonist who is married and has a child. The way that family relationships are displayed alongside a mystery makes this a great read even for people who may not usually be fans of the genre.

You are right. The book contains contents which might not appeal to YA readers.

More than families I see this book is appropriate for mystery lovers. Or even readers who like books about strong independent women.

I really loved the relationship between Hilary and her daughter Claire. This would be a great book for a mother and daughter.

This was the thing I loved most about the book. It certainly helps you look at situations from different points of view. I totally agree that this can strengthen any relationship, especially within the family.

Honestly, I expected a mystery and got quite disappointed because it seemed too often in the background.

I'd definitely agree that it's a book for families with older children as young children may not be as captivated by the story. But it definitely has good values and lessons to be shared.

House of Eire is a wholesome book. It can be classified as a family read. Its main target group is people who are primarily interested in mystery.

I agree with the comments that this is suitable for families. Regardless of which member you are, as long as you belong in one and see the value of family, the book will definitely have an impact on the reader.

The book discusses the child-parent relationship very thoroughly and would be a great read for all types of readers but I won't recommend it to children as the themes in the novel can be a bit confusing to understand for a person with very young age.

Harty wrote: 18 Apr 2020, 08:12 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.
Yeah, I agree with you. This book can help a family to bond in a unique way.
