With the good weather, I'm going through books at a fast pace. I've just finished Once upon a Summer, by Patricia O'Reilly. A perfect summer read. A good story, set in the Ireland of the Fifties. It's the story of a young girl of 15 who is sent down the country to get her away from the boy she's been seeing in secret. But there are boys in Kerry, too, and the story takes us nicely through that summer. It is a story of a more innocent time, with some dark undercurrents. The writing is simple and direct, and you just want to keep on reading more. I finished it in a few days, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
