In My Own Words:
I am a 'bookaholic', mainly fiction books of any genre, although I will basically read anything I can get my hands on.

'The House On Willow Street', is so much in the style of the Cathy Kelly I remember reading several years ago and it was therefore almost akin to catching up with an old friend and listening to her latest news and gossip. For me personally, Cathy has already firmly established herself in the upper echelons of female Irish authors, who are such consummate story tellers, able to keep the reader spellbound with their seemingly effortless, conversational writing style, characters who are easy to connect with and richly crafted storylines I can relate to.

There is a slow, yet methodical, multi-layered story development, as we are introduced to the individual characters living in… Read more
