In reading I really learned more about the fight for Ireland's independence. And this is in no way Amy Harmon's fault, but I had a hard time orienting myself in this book because I am not familiar with 1920s Ireland. Amy gives lots of context for you to understand, but I still felt a bit adrift. That's on me though. I also think my reading of Outlander affected how I read this book because I kept expecting the time period to be much further back.
While Anne is a great main character, I adored many of the side characters and wanted more of their stories too. Especially at the end I was craving more time with two of the characters. Really I wish there had been a cliff hanger and maybe a whole second book.
Overall I really enjoyed the reading experience, but it fell short of being a book I loved because I never felt fully immersed in the world.
Moderate: Gun violence
Minor: Murder and Sexual content
