Heartbreaking!

A story about two young men falling in love in Ireland and all the heartache and prejudice they face. This is one of the few booksI have actually cried at. when the part happens near 3/4 of the way through, i put the book down and could not believe it. A book never has done that to me before. these two people are so much in love and it broke my heart by what happened. the very end of the book was a bit draggy but overall this was a good book with a heartwrenching turn.

Lovable, to say the least...

Literature is NOT a portrait of life. Fiction is fiction, life is life. So I didn't realy care if the caracters in this book were true to life or not, and if the situations were real or weren't. Than again, who cares if people actually say "I love you" to their loved one whenever they are alone? I do say "I love you" to my beloved when we are alone, so... Shaun and Harry are heartwarming young men and anyone who has loved and lost can relate to their story. Shaun's Dad is sweet and, again, it's easy to understand how he feels. And in the end it's a great story about how prejudice (in whatever form it comes) can only bring misery, pain and death, and about how God's name cannot be an excuse to hurt and wound others.It actualy made me cry, just like "Romeo and Juliet" or "Amor de Perdição" (sorry, most of you won't know it, it's a beautiful portuguese romantic novel and I don't know if it's ever been translated...). Do read it, it will warm your hearts, even if it makes you cry...
