"Maiden Voyage" ended up on my recommedation list from amazon after I purchased Diana Gabaldon's latest novel "Drums of Autumn" . I love historical fiction and intelligently written romance, especially when it involves Ireland, Scotland or England, so I thought I'd give "Maiden Voyage" a try. I opened the novel expecting something similar to Diana Gabaldon's writing; thoroughly researched and eloquently written historical fiction with a healthy dose of romance for good measure. "Maiden Voyage" was a grievous disappointment. Filled with shallow unbelievable characters, a typical rote romance plot, and cloying stereotypes displaying a terrible ignorance of Irish history and culture, I found the book truly painful to wade through. Ms. O'Brien ought to visit Ireland and interact with some Irish citizens before attempting any more novels set there.
If you want an excellent work or romance/ historical fiction, try Diana Gabaldon. Her characters are believable and intelligent, and her history is thoroughly researched.

Well, I hate to be negative but I found Judith O'Brien's Maiden Voyage to be uninspiring. There was no romance; just a quickie between two people that you didn't even think felt anything for each other through the whole book. A ghost that's in love with a sickly, childlike, couch-ridden maiden. The people of Ireland were depicted as strange and the location depressing. The only good part of the book was the pub scenes. Which took up about a page.

Having lived in Ireland and abroard, MAIDEN VOYAGE brought back memories of Dublin and her people; and Ireland in general. Judith captured the feeling of the Irish people with her pub sceens.
I do enjoy a GOOD ghost story! It helps us all live in hope.
