Title: TOTALLY CONTRIVED
Review: I felt manipulated reading this book, like someone just threw it together to make money. I love Maeve Binchy but this book can no way compare to one of hers. Another thing that bothered me - why do Irish writers always make a point of insulting Americans and portraying us as ridiculous? They seem to have an obsession with this country and its people and it bothers them enough that they always need to portray us "ugly Americans". There were several instances in this book where the reference to Americans had nothing to do with the story. Having long been a fan of female Irish writers, I am finished with them. They can insult me all they want, but I don't have to spend any more of my hard-earned American dollars on their work!
