What the wind knows book5/23/2023 At first she can’t figure out how to get back, but then as she spends more time there she decides she might like to stay. She finds herself in Ireland at a time that was two generations before her. But I was already invested in this story. I can’t comprehend it and so I usually steer clear from those books. It’s too much for me to wrap my brain around. Up to this point it was very sad, and moving and I did not see what was coming next. She sets out to Ireland to spread his ashes and say a final goodbye. Set in America, a young woman is dealing with the loss of her beloved Irish grandfather. It started off like any good novel that I would read. It is historical fiction, which is my type of book, but it also has an aspect that I usually shy away from. I must say, it is not typically the kind of book I read, but I absolutely loved it. I recently read a novel titled “What the Wind Knows” by Amy Harmon. |
