Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As an Irish American, I love Jean Grainger's books as they show a real connection, understanding, and love for her country. This one shows her ever growing depth as an author. Other reviewers have explained the story of "What Once Was True." So just let me say that it bridges the "old" Ireland and its people still hurting from the several hundred years of English dominance and their first steps as a free people to the new Ireland-the Irish Tiger. The story, like her other books, gently weaves different cultures, peoples and social mores-some new some old- into the Irish whether countryside or town. Its about family, love, romance, war, learning and growth, all wrapped up in a lovely tale that will break your heart but leave you smiling at the end. I wanted the book to go on and on, and maybe there will be more. What say you Ms Grainger?
