Interesting to find out that Biddy Early as a seer was based on a real person. Liked the contrast of the rich life that Joseph found vs the poor peasant life for Anna. Truly liked Glenis and her acceptance of her lot in life but willing to risk being caught as a smuggler to improve conditions. Good descriptions of the hard life in Ireland just before the famine. Nice white teeth played an importance. Not really much of a dog story but nice historical references. ( ) Romantic tale of how the past impacts the present. Anna's miscarriages end her marriage. She learns of her brother's car accident and after retrieving his son returns home to rest. When she awakes and sees her nephew taking a package from her luggage, she is angry but soon they are tossed into a storm of water and an adventure that changes their lives forever. Good read but the abrupt change of setting was unsettling. Lost & Found was a terrific book. This one was not. Honestly, I just finished it yesterday, and I've already forgotten exactly how it ended. Nor do I care to remember. There was just something wrong about the lost in time portion of this book. The Irish people in 1844 spoke as though they were contemporary, and reasonably educated, which most of them (in the novel) were not. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Anna O'Shea has failed at marriage, shed her job at a law firm, and she's trying to re-create herself when she and her recalcitrant nephew are summoned to the past in a manner that nearly destroys them. Her twenty-first-century skills pale as she struggles to find her nephew in nineteenth-century Ireland. For one of them, the past is brutally difficult, filled with hunger and struggle. For the other, the past is filled with privilege, status, and a reprieve from the crushing pain of present-day life. For both Anna and her nephew, the past offers them a chance at love. Will every choice they make reverberate down through time? And do Irish Wolfhounds carry the soul of the ancient celts?" -- p. [4] of cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
