Charming, but not much happens. Break up is contrived. Still it is a nice world to visit.
I rather enjoyed this book, despite the fact that I could generally see where events were leading. The characters were funny and engaging and O'Reilly was particularly fun to watch. What crazy thing was he going to do next? It was not a particularly world changing book for me, but it was fun and a little different.

Ever since I fell in love with 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Scarlett' (its sequel), Ireland held an irrevocable romantic charm. The land of the O'Haras is my Wordsworthian England; may be I should have used 'was', the recent events concerning the abortion laws and the death of the Indian born Savita Halappanavar has put me back to the skeptical position of Seamus Heaney.
Story is based on Taylor's own experiences as a doctor in Ireland. Well, I won't put it in the same place of 'The Story of San Michele' (Axel Munthe), but no doubt, it retains some of the fragrance of that rewarding memoir. There are some rough edges for sure, the story is predictable for one, and the ending is also not that satisfying. But there permeates the serene atmosphere of all Irish novels, you will love this for sure.

It wasn’t life-changing or anything but it was a nice low-stakes, atmospheric novel.
