Interesting subject and great characterizations. “President Fionn” is filled with lively, colorful characters who illuminate a fascinating time in Irish history (and world history!). Spanning 30 years, from Dublin during the depression to the swinging 60s.Fionn is an Irish boy (dubbed ‘president’ by his doting grandfather) surrounded by the turmoil and upheavals of the mid-twentieth century.  Though a dreamer by nature,  Fionn can’t help but become caught up in the times and is especially fascinated with President John F Kennedy, who he follows hoping to be noticed by the great man.What a wonderful tale of Irish life, the love and pain that comes with close families, and the dreamer that we all want to love.  Christine Mary Flemming has written a tale of hope for the future and entanglement with the past that will resonate with readers. I look forward to reading more of her books!
