The illustrations in this book are beautiful. It looks like nature. I also like how the beaver goes on an adventure.

Clare and David--her a shanty Irish and him a gentry are brought together. Clare wins a scholarship to attend school in Dublin where David is attending med school. David and Clare's relationship begins to crumble when Gerry Doyle, the town charmer and Caroline Nolan, the beautiful, rich girl prey on the couple.

cobwebmoth I hated the ending. I don't want Clare to go back to David. His attitude was despicable. 6y

EadieB She should have given up on David and focused on her schooling. She could get someone to help her with the baby while she finished school. Then she could focus on the rest of her life and not feel so trapped. 6y

JacqMac Yes @cobwebmoth and @EadieB She should have taken the baby and went back to school. David doesn‘t deserve her and she shouldn‘t sacrifice her happiness for him. 6y

Part 4

Question 3 of 4

cobwebmoth I didn't like the way things ended for Gerry. It just felt like such a sad waste. I realize that Clare was relieved to be rid of his advances, but I felt like her reaction was a bit much. 6y

EadieB Gerry put too much pressure on Clare and Gerry wouldn‘t take no for an answer. His business was failing and he was not in a good frame of mind when he died. Clare had too much to deal with at the time of Gerry‘s death and she was just relieved not to have Gerry pressuring her anymore. 6y

JacqMac I didn‘t like what happened to Gerry either @cobwebmoth and I agree that her reaction was overblown. I did like that Clare reassured his sister that it was an accident and not a suicide. 6y

cobwebmoth I don't think so. But I don't think she belongs with David either. 6y

EadieB Gerry is not the solution for Clare. She should have stayed focused on her career and finished her schooling first. 6y

JacqMac Nope. Gerry wouldn‘t have been a good choice. Clare needs her studies. 6y

Part 4

Question 1 of 4

rubyslippersreads, KarouBlue, amiekreger, CarolynM, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, BookBabe, cobwebmoth, Crewgurl, Tove_Reads, JamieArc, jb72, EadieB

cobwebmoth In her mind she hadn't planned on being a mother until she had an established career and was in her thirties, so I don't think it's surprising that she would struggle with being a young mother. 6y

EadieB I think young mothers experience a lot of hormone changes and taking care of a baby 24/7 is very draining. Having time for your husband does not always happen. Could be she was experiencing some type of depression especially since her life plans were not going in the direction they were suppose to. 6y

JacqMac I agree with you both @cobwebmoth and @EadieB It was a combination of things. Depression brought on by life changes and by hormones and the pressures of being a new mom. 6y
