It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man, faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery that forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church.

A sad tale of reality, well told. Sparce in length and the best for it. Enjoyed the male main character. Wonderful narration.

Aleen Cust has big dreams. And no one―not her family, society, or the law―will stop her. Born in Ireland in 1868 to an aristocratic English family, Aleen knows she is destined to work with animals, even if her family is appalled by the idea of a woman pursuing a veterinary career. Going against their wishes but with the encouragement of the guardian assigned to her upon her father’s death, Aleen attends the New Veterinary College in Edinburgh, enrolling as A. I. Custance to spare her family the humiliation they fear.

Enjoyed the book very much and recommend to anyone interested in historical fiction, victorian attitudes, dysfunctional families in past and Present, love of animals, and never giving up.

Everyone has a story to tell. But does Janice have the power to unlock her own? She can’t recall what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they had always done so, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her.

unable to Finish
Revisado: 08-29-23
I believe I out grew stories of this sort many decades ago. Formulated and Gothic. Minimal development of Kate before traumatic event - left me without empathy. Anticipation of historical discovery of what connects these related characters is low on my scale. I could not establish a hook...unable to finish.

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.

A beach listen
Revisado: 01-02-23
I really enjoyed the first part of the tale because I have loved horses all my life and suspect I have some tinkering ancestry - the description of vaulting/bare-backing was excellent. The second half of the story was too drawn out with the wavering thoughts of an adolescent and ended in fairy tale fashion.

I am a lit snob, increasingly so as I age. I will not live long enough to enjoy the many books I hope to read or to listen. This author is exceptional. This story is elaborate and so enjoyable. I highly recommend to those fearing the end of time.

Enchantment. By Dr. Sharon Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency - one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination - but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community.

This book is a wealth of knowledge, resource, validation, path of engaged living.
Ms. Blackie's work is never disappointing.

As always - historical, romantic, time traveling fiction at its best! Number 8 in a great series. The previous seven novels set the stage. No book lover should be disappointed with this author's work.
