This is the second novel in the Staggerford-series - although it is a stand alone novel. We meet Agahta McGee again - an old maid and now a retired schoolteacher. She’s a character that I love. Strict and conservative, but with a sense of duty and deep faith that touches people around her. Her “old school” Catholic faith is threatened by a lot of modern changes in her local church. Her comfort is her “pen-pal” in Ireland - an 69 year old man who shares her view on life. She decides to go see him in Ireland and it’s here most of the story takes place. Not as good as the first one in the series, yet a pleasant read and I think I will continue the series. 2886. A Green Journey, by Jon Hassler (read 8 Jul 1996) Possible SPOILER. This book was published in 1985 and has Agatha McGee, a prominent character in the author's novel Staggerford (which I read 15 May 1996), as its central character. She has corresponded for five years with James O'Hannon in Ireland and decides to go to see him. They meet - she falls in love - and finds out he is a priest! Janet Raft had a child out of wedlock, and Agatha helped her cope. Then Janet married Randy Mears, and Randy isn't much count. Janet goes to Ireland too, as does Bishop Dick Baker. Through much of the book I thought the writing not elegant, but the book finishes strong, funny and encouraging, and the end left me with a warm glow all around. So nice to have moral people carry on and avoid evil. I found this book delightful. It was as good as Hassler's Simon's Night (which I read 27 May 1996) and all in all I am glad I have come to know Jon Hassler's work. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Hassler's characters have old-fashioned values and typical human failings; they make this a novel to restore your faith in humanity." LOS ANGELES TIMES Agatha McGee is following a dream, though it might be late in the game. She's just retired from a career of teaching and travels to Ireland in search of the romance she never had time for. And along the way, she not only discovers people she would never have let herself know before, but learns through experience, at long last, that love is unpredictable, unstoppable, and never appears as we dream it will.
