pickBeautifully written. There is a more complete story here than in many a tome.
pickI couldn‘t put this down. Maura owns a town pub called Sullivan‘s. In the middle of a blizzard several people are stuck @ the pub til the storm stops. One of them is the woman suspected in a murder years ago and she insists on her innocence. So the group decide to go over the details since they have nothing else to do for the night.
pickI never read as much as I think I will on vacation 😅
familiarize yourself with Magdalene Laundries before reading this otherwise you may miss the full emotional weight. I wanted more aftermath, but maybe that was the point. that small mercies fight systems built on shame & kindness doesn‘t always come with closure. ⛪️

pickNiall Williams‘ prose is so enchanting I would read him@on any subject. This epic tells the story of the Foley brothers during the time before and during the potato famine. He makes the sorrowful and tragic to be beautiful, and makes you love all the family, but especially Tiege, the horse-whisperer. The stars and constellations tie together all the threads, even though they seem stretched to the breaking point. Highly recommended!
so-so3/5⭐️ I enjoyed the adventure of this trio, appreciated reading their hardships. Artt really started getting on my nerves and what turned at the end was sort of out of left field.
pickThis is one of those books that you know is fiction yet you also know these sorts of atrocities did really happen. Its heartbrekaing at times and yet such a powerful read. It jumps from past and present told mostly through the eyes of Sam and Ivy but we get a little from others too. It creates a stronger depth to the story. The ending was well written and tied everything off in the way that fitted. I liked Sam but Ivy stole the show. #Netgalley 4*
