Missing You Already par Pauline McLynn

Another lovely story from McLynn. This one features an intergenerational story set in a small British town called Pennick. The locals pronounce it as Panic. Kitty Fulton is caring for her mother, May as the latter slips into the final stages of Alzheimer’s. The two take a final trip to Egypt where Kitty discovers the world to be a far kinder place than she had imagined. Romantic entanglements, local history, and witty repartee make up the rest of the novel. Highly recommended.

The Woman on the Bus par Pauline McLynn

A young woman from the city, overcome by the joint effects of a bum-romance and more than one too many drinks, wakes to find herself adopted by the locals. A funny, contemporary novel set in the Irish countryside that also manages to deal intelligently with the themes of alcoholism and bereavement. A nice companion to McLynn’s excellent Leo Street mystery series.

The Woman on the Bus par Pauline McLynn

Really enjoyed reading this book told through a range of characters. The story unfolds initially through Charlie, who runs Finn's pub in Kilbrody when a woman arrives in his pub off a bus with no idea of how she got there or who she is. She's been on the Dublin bus and it isn't until the wicked bus driver returns back on the route a few days later that all is revealed. We also meet a range of characters who tell their story such as Joyce and Tom Long as well as their daughter Cathy who form a big part of the narrative. Ozzy O'Reilly keeps a watchful eye on the community through his binoculars and we find out the goings on through him. Eventually we find out everything about the woman on the bus and a wonderful story continually unfolds as she settles into the Kilbrody community. A lovely read and I can see why the blurb refers to Marian Keyes and Maeve Binchy. Overall, a funny yet moving love story set amongst some wonderful scenery.… (plus d'informations)
