This Is Happiness
by Niall Williams
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I loved the slow-moving, warm and perceptive story of the inhabitants of the Irish village of Faha in the 1950s, as it makes its way into modern times with the coming of the telephone and electricity. Friendship, love, incredible writing. I just got another book the author has written from the library, entitled Time of the Child, also taking place in Faha. Sadly the library only has these 2, but I may request an inter-library loan to read more from Niall Williams.

This was an okay read for me. The beginning felt slow and a bit over-detailed, and it took a while to really get into the story. The ending was the strongest part — the twists were interesting, but I was able to predict where it was going before the final reveal.

Andrea offers another mystery murder. This book is another in a series with the Earl Wexford and a socialite Charley or Charlette, with a pen name A.J. Quill. In this book the 2 finally get married. This series takes place in the 1800. Andrea has done a good job of research that time period.
