A woman returns from the States to visit her grandmother in Ireland, and is tricked into returning with her young cousin.
This is a nice, sentimental little tale with a roguish wit that keeps it from being mawkish. The dialect spellings in the dialogue are a little bit of a hard slog at first, though it’s interesting to catch some structures of Irish lingering in how the English sentences are built. Rose’s grandmother is a great character, and the other inhabitants of Kilgowran receive some witty and warm-hearted sketches as well.
