| I found the first part of this novel interesting, especially Marigold’s love of photography and the role it played in her efforts to do her bit as an American living in wartime England, but as a character she was hard to believe in, or if she was a ‘ ...more | |

| Wow! This is the first book I have read by Jane Casey, and it won’t be the last! A suspense /detective story set in an evocative coastal Ireland with two likeable and of course flawed Dublin detectives, spooky houses, unreliable narrators, and a very ...more | |

| I fear the style of this novel made it a struggle to read and keep any interest in. Perhaps it was in part because it was translated? The story of a mother who was silenced and abused told through the eyes of her son is not a pleasant story, but the ...more | |
“May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home And may the hand of a friend always be near. May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the skies above you, May pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hearts that love you. —Traditional Irish Blessing”

“I was the first to arrive, and Bill was in the process of cleaning his barbecue. He looked about forty, and he told me that he and Violet had been on the island for three years, ever since he’d been made redundant from his job in Sydney. Apart from helping Tom out when he needed it, he and Violet managed a group of four holiday cabins for an absentee owner, and also ran a low-key café in the holiday season. They loved it and intended to stay until the kids had to go to secondary school”
