About the Book
In 1920, Annabeth De Lacy's father is appointed landlord of Galway Parish in Ireland. Bored without all the trappings of the British Court, Annabeth convinces her father to arrange an apprenticeship for her with the Jennings family--descendants of the creator of the famed Claddagh Ring.
Stephen Jennings longs to do anything other than run his family's jewelry shop. Having had his heart broken, he no longer believes in love and is weary of peddling the "lies" the Claddagh Ring promises.
Meanwhile, as the war for Irish independence gains strength, many locals resent the De Lacys and decide to take things into their own hands to display their displeasure. As events take a dangerous turn for Annabeth and her family, she and Stephen begin to see that perhaps the "other side" isn't quite as barbaric and uncultured as they'd been led to believe--and that the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty are only made stronger when put through the refiner's fire.
Travel to the Emerald Isle for another poignant and romantic story from the enchanted pen of Jennifer Deibel.
My Thoughts
I enjoyed reading this book. I loved visiting Ireland and hearing some of the history of the Claddagh ring. I found the book to be well written and with a nice flow. There was a biblical thread I liked. The scenario of the book was especially interesting to me as I just found out that my husband's father's family that I thought was all Irish actually had a "Lady Sarah" from England in it! This book made me understand how difficult that might have been for them. I look forward to reading more books by Jennifer Deibel.
