Wonderful Irish Tale

Taylor outdoes herself in this delightful tale of an Irish family in the 1960's. Once you start reading, you are completly taken into this family and you cannot put the book down. Hopefully she will continue with the story of the Phelans and write another novel about Mossgrove.
