The Yellow House

This Irish story is the easiest and most enjoyable book that I have read in awhile.  I raced through it.  Found out that the author Patricia Falvey knows the author of Galway Bay ...it is a similar format.  Galway Bay focuses on the time of the famine while this book concentrates more on the time of the "troubles" about 1917-22.  As much as I LOVED Galway Bay, this book just flows.  The characters are real and you can really get caught up in the story. I've always been a bit confused on the things that went on with all of the politics (the names of the groups etc) but by putting the story in a family format and following along with their lives, it turns out to be an easy way to understand the times and struggles.
