A review by shighley
The Crows of Beara by Julie Christine Johnson
3.0
3.5 Strengths: The author's obvious adoration for Ireland. I have been in County Cork, but not this particular part. I really wondered about the support that alcoholics can give each other; no one else could understand as well. I also appreciated that Fiana and Annie could be civil and helpful to each other, even though at the time they were on opposite sides of an issue. I also enjoyed learning a bit of Irish history and Gaelic.
Things that bothered me: How many times is Annie going to run/hike and fall down somewhere? Why does she always have to be rescued from a bad situation by Daniel? The corruption and the part with the American golfers was a bit much, too. And, in the spring, Ireland would be going to daylight time, not standard time, when clocks are shifted ahead.(minor annoyance, but editors should catch these things)
