The Lost Letters of William Woolf von Helen Cullen
An easy read with a quirky cast of characters. I would have enjoyed more about the dead letters and their stories as I found them fascinating! To be able to deliver letters and parcels, with barely a legible address, to their rightful recipients, using nothing but intuition and good detective skills would be a very satisfying occupation.
hmmm...I have to admit this book caught my eye because I loved the show "Signed, Sealed, Delivered". It is nothing like it and I never should have assumed it would have been. This melancholy read is about a person who works in the same type of scenario but takes it too far and comes close to hurting the people around him. I found it to be rather depressing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this story of William Woolf’s and those who are in his life. The relationships felt so very real, and the descriptive language was utterly delightful to experience. The story played out at a good pace, and I struggled to put the book down.
This lovely novel really captures the "black dog" of depression and its impact on all surrounding family members. Maeve, an American studying drama, and Murtagh, an Irish potter, meet in Dublin in 1978, fall in love, and move to Inis Og, a tiny island, where Murtagh takes over a thriving pottery studio and Maeve tries to lose herself in him and in their four children. With no other outlets for her creativity, Maeve fights waves of bleak moods over and over as she tries to justify staying alive for her family and finally fails. Murtagh and the four children's next chapters are surprisingly authentic and believable, and the story is a deep dive into a family of strong individuals who are able to use Maeve as a beacon rather than a reason to despair, although it's far from an easy task.
