Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[A] very satisfying story of people who are easy to believe in and hard to forget. Kathleen MacMahon writes with a confidence and ease and with an unerring sense of timing…When you have long forgotten many other fictional lovers, there is something about Addie and Bruno, their past and their world, that will not go away.” —Maeve Binchy
“MacMahon’s journalist eye enhances the political and historical backdrop of her novel. She captures the Irish excitement over the possibility of Obama’s election, the financial crisis that will lower its boom in the US and Ireland, and the sometimes silly but just as meaningful fascination Americans have with their ancestral roots.” —USA Today
“Combines humor with a real sense of joy at finding love at midlife…MacMahon’s enthralling debut novel features marvelous characters who will linger long in readers’ hearts. This moving book will appeal to those who enjoy popular contemporary fiction, particularly the work of Maeve Binchy and Barbara Delinsky.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“It’s impossible to look away from this love story—it is unexpectedly quirky, grown-up but pleasingly whimsical.” —Observer (London)
“MacMahon takes an oft told tale and makes it fresh in her tender debut novel…MacMahon’s portrayal of Bruno and Addie’s relationship, along with a charming supporting cast, make this a believable and warm tale.” —Publishers Weekly
