Review: Enjoyed this portrait of Northern Ireland
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's difficult to put a finger on what this book is exactly: it has history, memoir, interviews, and personal musings on topics as unrelated to the main topic as Reiki healing. However, it works very well as an intimate portrait of Northern Ireland (Belfast in particular) in the recent years as it begins to travel away from the sectarian violence i since the Troubles. The author gives an intimate sense of the people who populate her story, and although the author doesn't pull punches about the poor working and living conditions many still experience, it really does want to make you go and visit such a vibrant place as Belfast. I learned a lot and I want to go to Belfast now more than I ever have. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
