julzmcg 's review for:

The Trip of a Lifetime by Monica McInerney
5.0

What a beautiful story about family, secrets and the history upon which we build.
This is the tale of Lola Quinlan returning home to Ireland for the first time in sixty years. She takes with her a daughter and grand-daughter who are excited to learn more about this important matriarch in their lives. What they find is surprising and emotional.
I loved the descriptive nature of this book. Monica's love of family and community really shine through in this book.
