I originally downloaded the shorter version of the book and really enjoyed. All the characters are great. Rose and her amazing her voyage to America in the good old days. I thought the altercation her and her mother got into was really sad. Anyone who would hear those words from your their own mother would feel terrible inside. Of course that is where Sean comes into the picture, who helps her up and the rest is history for them as they get married and go through their ups and downs. I really do feel for Rose who wonders about life back home in Ireland as she misses being there so much. Although she really appreciates her life in the U.S. and that is where she lives now, but Ireland will always be her real home. Sean aka Peter is just something. Makes Rose fall in love with him, change his name because he was wanted for his real name and lives life as another person. Although him and Rose end up having 3 kids, they really have a non-loving dysfunctional marriage. I can really go on and on with the story because it is really interesting to see how life was back then. Especially with the lifestyle changes they went through with all the technological improvements.
