Format:Hardcover
A joy to read - despite the unhappy time the main character had as a child. This booked for me evoked many happy memories of "old" Ireland,people in the community perhaps knowing too much about each other but at the same time caring very much for each other.The language,the expectations and the description of the various characters I am sure could be recognised in any village.

Heard this book reviewed on the radio one morning and liked the sound of it. Wasn't disappointed. It was a lovely, sensitive, well written tale of a lonely bachelor so common to Ireland. Would recommend this book to anyone who wants an easy but heart rending read.

Can't but agree with the other reviewers. It's rare to come across a book
with a great story and great writing. Jamie McCloone is a lonely farmer
living in Northern Ireland. When the novel opens he is suffering from
depression and is suicidal, but his friendly neighbour, Rose, comes to the
rescue. She encourages him to answer a Lonely Hearts ad. Jamie does just
that and his life is changed for the better and forever.
It is a very funny and moving story which made me laugh and cry at the same time. I understand that it is going to be made into a movie. I only hope that the film makers can do justice to such a wonderful book.

Simply beautiful
Lovely book. It kept me up half the night, I simply had to finish it! Like so many other readers here I laughed and cried by turns. I hope Christina writes more like this.
