The description on Amazon's web page for this book begins with the following description...
Anne Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Amy Harmon books I have read and this one I would put at the top of my list of her books. I loved the characters and how they are mixed into the history in Ireland in the 1920s. I learned about how complicated and dangerous those times were. The story of Anne and Thomas' love was inspiring and lovely to read and see it growing. I would love to know more of her grandfather's life, we basically see the beginning and the end, but I suppose that would be another book all on its own.
I know that time travel isn't real, and I have a hard time accepting that in a story line. For this one the time travel facilitator was a lake near where Anne's grandfather grew up. It can be a great way to tell a story however when a character from another time sees a new time and place with a stranger's eyes.
Would I recommend this book? Heck yeah! Have you read anything lately that you would recommend to me? Leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
