greeley' fan

I just loved this novel . Keep it to re- read for grey days. Totally creazy, but isn't good to feel creazy from time to time ?

Boy meets girl in Galway City...one of Greeley's best

Andrew Greeley has been bringing real life fiction, or is that fiction imitating life?, to readers for the past couple of decades and just keeps getting better. G. Patrick "Toby" Tobin is, by his own admission, a computer hacker, a nerd. His agreeement to travel to Ireland in comliance with his great uncle's will is the step toward a grace which renews and affirms his own life. The quest to win the hand of his 8th cousin once removed, the fair Sara Anne, is facilitated by his "angel-cum-travel-agent" and comlicated by the UFF, his cousin's personal demons, and his own domineering family. It will appeal to those who themselves yearn to respond to grace in their lives, the computer literate, and those who see dysfunction in their own nuclear families.

Truly an Old Fashioned Love Story

While at times I must admit that I am disconcerted every now and then by the fact that one of my favorite authors is a Catholic Priest, Andrew Greeley always manages to entertain, enlighten, and oftentimes educate the reader without getting too "preachy". This book is indeed what is states it is. It is a sweet old fashioned love story, with a few Greeley-isms thrown in. From the modern internet theme to the lovely Irish setting and vibrant loveable characters this book is classic Greeley. Very few things are better than that.

This book is an unbelievable story. I loved all 400+ pages.

This book was superb. I can't say enough good things about it. I just hope that Father Greeley decides to write about this tandem again

Angel Light is a peep at a courageous struggle towards love.

Father Greeley offers another parable of God's love for us through Angel Light. Fallen away Christians/Catholics cannot help but to take comfort in a story that describes very human characters finding love through courage and generosity. He gives us hope that this love is for everyone with the resolution to go after it.
