I read this last summer and I can't remember how the language was so I don't know if I can comfortable recommend it. I liked it and I remembered it (which is rare for me) and kind of want to read it again- very good for summer reading. (I watched a horrible made for tv movie based on the book- don't waste your time on that)This book is about a woman who builds a very nice life for herself in Ireland, then has the rug pulled out from under her feet when her husband leaves. She ends up house swapping with a woman in New England and teh change od scenery does wonders for both women
