I really enjoyed this book it was so good I could not put it down I left all the characters I loved how she found the diary in the tree and how at the end she went home and her and her husband didn't stay together and then Oren came to go see her artwork which I loved I loved how it ended it was really cool
An enjoyable read. Turns out there really was a Harold of sorts - Walter Evans-Wentz. His book on Celtic fairy-lore is still available.
A beautiful story with dual storylines in 1911 and 2011. I don’t feel like the storylines connected well. Sarah found Anna’s diary, but her storyline didn’t really add much overall. I might seek out a few more books about Ireland though, I think Maeve Binchy is calling my name again. Book #67 in 2025
Really slow pace, and nothing really happens? Then ended with randomly unexpected romance, that had no build-up whatsoever and felt like it was thrown in because someone told the author "oh romance sells better". Kinda promotes the message that a woman isn't complete or happy without a man in her life... I guess some of the folklore was nice, but it wasn't developed or explored properly at all.
The main character and supporting characters were quite original and the story line was actually practical.
