10.13.2019 - Seven Letters

Seven Letters

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Griffin, and JP Monniger for the opportunity to read and review his latest book.  Like The Map That Leads to You, which I enjoyed, this book is also part travelogue, letting me experience the beauty and history of Ireland.

Kate Moreton is a PhD student at Dartmouth, studying the Blasket Islands of Ireland.  Kate grew up listening to her father's story of Ireland and these islands and is thrilled to be going there to complete her dissertation.  But fate has a different path for her - she meets and falls in love with Ozzie, a fisherman with emotional scars left from his time in the war.  Their romance is fast and furious and they end up getting married, until Kate wonders who she actually did marry and flees the country and Ozzie.

Besides the beautiful visions of Ireland this book revealed, the story of Kate and Ozzie was one to fall into.  They both were real characters with real emotions and flaws.  I loved the seven letters too, leading the story into the next phases.
