Memories! 14 July 2008
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.

Childhood Memories 13 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
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.

Enthralling 15 Nov 2008
By C. Slon
Format:Hardcover
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.

How interesting, she mused, that we pick up and repeat the qualities of those closest to us, like walking reflections, whether they be good for us or not. But, thought Lydia, our freedom lies in being aware of this very fact and in shattering those illusions that do not suit us. &quote;
