The author also wrote The Undertaking- which is a favorite of mine. This one tells further stories from the author's life and of his Irish relations. Likable enough, and with a wonderful turn of phrase, the books somehow lacked a focus or coherence. It was written just after 9/11 which the author indicated had influenced the book to be much more serious and shows more conflict- instead of the happy, come to Ireland/America originally envisioned. I liked it, but some paragraphs went on and on- the essays moved slowly.

I love reading Thomas Lynch, however despite some great passages, this was my least favorite of his books so far. Still worth reading, but didn’t match the enjoyment I found in reading *The Undertaking* or *Bodies in Motion and at Rest*.
