Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. One American woman and one Irish trade homes for the summer. Each have a family tragedy they want to distance themselves from to sort out their new realities. Through meeting one another’s friends and family, they learn much about each other and themselves. Tara Road represents the home we believe in and the reality of how far that dream may be from the truth. Perceptions and relationships are deeply explored in this tale of two families an ocean apart. Healing from tragedy comes in its own time and way which the author masterfully delivers. I came upon this book in the swap shelves of a cruise ship exploring Norway. Now I want more of Binchy’s work: Every year around Christmas time I like to pick a book with a Christmas theme with a fast pace and to help me get into the spirit of the holidays. I picked the first book on my shelf that looked like it was a Christmas book. I was pleased that I noticed the title, Deck the Halls. I so looked forward to cuddle up with this book. I was disappointed. This was not a Christmas book. I don't recall anything about decking any halls. It was a murder mystery that happened to be taken place at Christmas. I never got the feeling of holiday or celebration. 98% of the time I finish a book whether I enjoy it or not, hoping that it will get better. I did read it to the end, but maybe I should have found a book that was more fitting than this one for the holidays. no reviews | add a review
