We enjoy historical fiction and this one was pretty good.

Overall I would give it a 3.5 if possible.

What it did well :
Nice job of putting you there in Ireland both current and past
We liked characters, the story and were hoping it worked out for them

Where is was soft:
Plot was pretty weak and had some holes that prevented you from buying into all the way
The characters, while likeable , were not very deep.

Part that got a little annoying :
Main character's self obsession was a little annoying at times, but just a little

Will actually do another by this author and hope for a little more depth, but will settle if it is as good as this one.

Did a nice job of amusing us for our 7 hour drive
