I'm actually having a really hard time getting back into this book because my brain isn't done obsessing over my last book.

I started reading this book almost a year ago but never got past halfway. I'm starting from the beginning again so I can finish it before seeing the friend who gave it to me. We meet up annually to talk about books, so I wanna have this one fresh in my mind when I see them again.
This book is full of Irish lore and language, snatches of poetry and gorgeous descriptions of the countryside. In theory I should love it, and while I did enjoy the basic storyline, I thought the entire work was too wordy for the simple storyline it contained. I found myself skimming over a lot of material. So while I give it 3 stars for the nugget of goodness at the center, the wrapping was unsatisfying.
