The Library at the Edge of the World by Felicity Hayes-McCoy

3.0

Character driven with a lovely sense of place, Library at the Edge of the World is a well written yet slow paced read. By the time a reader sees any engaging plot development one is 60% into the book. This was more time than I usually give a story and I was experiencing impatience and boredom......thus 3 stars. The last couple of chapters has some engaging action and I would rate the last part of the book 3.5 stars. Although I appreciate well developed and interesting characters and enjoyed the rural Irish country setting, I need a bit more plot in a story to be fully engaged. The author is a talented writer and I hope others will enjoy her story. It might be a good read if you’re looking for a gentle read for a time when you want minimum stress in your reading material....and I think readers from Ireland or those who have spent time in Ireland might enjoy this read. I appreciate the strong theme of a woman and a community finding their voices. If you read and enjoy this story, there are 2 more books in the series. I will not be continuing with them.
