Author Pat McDermott takes the reader into a love story of a mature couple and on a delightful tour of Ireland with her characters. She used Irish terms and wrote the dialogue with just enough Irish phrases to make the reader feel like she was actually in Ireland, but not so much it slowed down the reading. McDermott's story involved building the love story, discovering Irish places and their history, and the main character creating her own novel.  McDermott did it easily with it all meshing into an entertaining love story. I was especially interested in the title because my brother plays the whistle. I was not disappointed with all the Irish music and musical terms in the book. I could almost hear the whistle's tones and the vibrant rhythms of the old dances and the soulful Irish strains.of the ballads.
