Book Favorite

"Yeats: say no more. I’m of Irish ancestry so the world of Yeats is magical, mournful and evocative of a faraway time and place familiar to my soul. I often love to read these poems aloud to myself late at night. My favorite is “The Second Coming,” with its prescient warning to our world today."

This is a fine debut novel from the TV host. A body is unearthed in a small Irish village and PJ Collins, the local policeman, must dig through the characters’ past to find the killer. This is an exciting plot set against the humdrum of village life. The characters are believable in their mundanity, the tone of their conversation, peppered with occasional profanity, secrets and gossip, is a joy to read. The story is told with observational wit and flair but doesn’t rely too much on overplaying the Irish accent when reading. If you’re a fan of the author, I highly recommend listening to the audio version that’s available as Norton’s narration brings the characters to life, full of lilt and accent.

This made me laugh several times simply at the stuff they did to each other but I wasn't entirely drawn into the story. I think what Darcy did back when they were 10 was wrong but at the same time I don't believe it required the hatred from Neala that it got. That being said, some of the pranks were funny, some a little cruel, but it always seemed obvious to me that they had feelings for each other, and it just took them forever to realise it for themselves.

I also loved the Irish-ness of this. Stuff like "me ma" and other sayings that just made it so Irish, and the thrown in well used British ones too.
