Summary: THE BEST THOENE NOVEL EVER!!!
Review: What a read! From theopening sentence I knew I was going to love this book! I've been waiting for months for it to come out since I fell in love with all the characters in Only The River Runs Free! Have there ever been such writers before? They make characters come alive! When smallpox hit the little children of Ballynockanor I found myself praying for Mary Elizabeth. The world of 1840 Ireland has become a part of my world. Now I understand why my family came to America and what's happening in Ireland today! Some things never change...The Thoenes are still the best there ever were. When is the next one coming out?

Summary: Bre's
Review: While not quite as good as its predecessor, this book is still an enjoyable read. I did not find this book quite as moving as the majority of the books written by the Thoenes. I'm not quite sure why. Still, the characters are as vibrant as ever, including the Tinker, whom I never quite figured out. Maybe I'm not supposed to. The Galway Chronicles have really opened my eyes to the problems besetting Ireland today, making me realise that the problems are a lot more complex than what they appear. I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
