The Transatlantic Book Club

Cassie starts a book club between Ireland and the USA.

The fictional Finfarran peninsula in Ireland is where many of the emigrants in Resolve, USA came from. Cassie lives in Finfarran and visits Resolve; she finds that the people of Resolve have lost their Irish roots.

Upon her return, Cassie approaches Finfarran librarian Hanna Casey. They decide to create a Skype-based book club between the Finfarran library and the US town of Resolve.

I will admit I haven't read the entire series because I didn't enjoy the first book. This entry in the series is another rambling tale that's hard to follow if you're not devoting all of your attention to the story. Marcella Riordan's Irish accents make the book even harder to follow for an American reader.

Only recommended if you love small-town or Irish country fiction.

Felicity Hayes-McCoy divides her time between London and Ireland. She is known throughout the UK for writing and acting in TV/film, radio, and theater.
