An Irish Country Christmas

I am growing to like this world a little bit. I am annoyed with Barry for being so impatient with Patricia, but then I remember that it is mid '60s and (though still not ok) it is a little more tolerable. I still find the overall story a little too pat for my usual taste, it's hard to have any urgency or tension when you're pretty sure everything is going to have a happy ending. But it's a pleasant fantasy and nice to believe that there was once a place like this where everyone knew everyone else and jumped in to help without a thought. A lovely Christmas sentiment. And it was a nice holiday read. 3 out of 5 stars Read this as the alternate selection for the Celtic MKE Irish Book Club - they selected An Irish Country Yule - which is book 16 in the series - I just read book 1 and thought this book - 3 in the series - was probably a better choice. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3688759-an-irish-country-christmas
