A truly beautiful book. Harmon has a way with words that just makes them flow and permeate deep into your soul. Her writing sets a tone as soft as the wind, but her characters, bold and vibrant, take you through the spectacularly constructed plot. She effortlessly weaves together history and romance with her themes of belonging, love, and fate. Definitely worth a read!

 After the death of her grandfather, Anne finally takes a trip to Ireland where her history and family await.

I found the first half of this book a little slow and with a few inconsistencies. I found Anne to be an inconsistent character. The pacing of the romance was off for me as well with a lot of telling and little showing. However, the second half of the story was more interesting as the mystery and tension built. I enjoyed Thomas’ POV and the history of the Irish fight for freedom. However, the inconsistencies at the first of the book made me doubt the details of the narrative being told. In general I found this to be a bit too long considering it was very thoroughly telegraphed as to what would happen at the start and it was not an original idea. It was just an Irish Outlander. So ultimately this was only okay, for me.

A beautifully written historical romance about a time I know very little about. Surprised no one has made this into a movie yet! 🤞🏼
