  “It is always fun when Americans tour Ireland as we are reminded of the wonder of the ancient history we take for granted in the UK. Aside from the fantastically woven story line that kept me guessing all the way, I found myself chuckling at the antics and commentary of the friends. The descriptions of the landscape were breathtaking and the connections between the ladies heartwarming.” -- Kathryn, NetGalley Reviewer

"I'm on page seven and I love it. I feel wrapped in wisteria and I can smell the smoke and hear the clicks of the dominoes.  I could teach allusion, assonance, alliteration, imagery, and characterization with just these seven pages!  I've got to go read my new favorite author!"
