I'm of Irish descent on my father's side, and I've always been fascinated by all things Irish. The sister's situations in this one sound interesting in a "what's going to happen to them next" kind of way. The fact that it has zero mistakes is phenomenal; that's hard to find in books! I'll be putting it on my (ever-expanding *sigh*) TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation!

I like the sound of this book. I'm particularly drawn to the characters in their complexities. I'm definitely adding it to my to-read list. Your review was lovely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
