Where the Heart Should Be by Sarah Crossan

4.0

I read this book in one sitting and loved it. There were a few things that struck me as implausible; but then I reminded myself that this is a work of fiction, not a History textbook!

Sarah Crossan is a beautiful writer, and there are some gorgeous turns of phrase in this novel. Sarah is a poet and that is obvious even when she writes prose. It was also quite the treat to read a book set during An Gorta Mór where that event was the backdrop, rather than the main feature.

Read this book if you would like to enjoy some writing by a fine writer, a story that rolls gently along, and the odd surprise.
