Sinossi
Il tradimento del marito e il successivo divorzio hanno lasciato Hanna completamente svuotata. Londra è diventata troppo grande, troppo minacciosa per lei. Decide, così, di fuggire là dove sa che nulla è ostile e pericoloso: il suo paese natale, Lissbeg, sulla costa meridionale dell’Irlanda, un grappolo di case in riva all’oceano. Respirando a pieni polmoni l’aria salmastra e passeggiando sulla spiaggia, Hanna riesce a ritrovare un po’ di equilibrio. E poi c’è il lavoro nella minuscola biblioteca locale, che le dà conforto e le permette di entrare in confidenza con gli abitanti del paesino, che hanno accolto con curiosità, ma anche un pizzico di diffidenza, l’arrivo della «straniera».
Ma il dramma arriva anche a Lissbeg: le autorità minacciano di chiudere la biblioteca e Hanna si ritrova coinvolta in prima persona a difendere il cuore pulsante della comunità. Dovrà riscoprire in sé quell’animo battagliero che le difficoltà della vita avevano soffocato e convincere tutti ad aiutarla. Ma è forse troppo tardi per credere nel futuro? E se invece fossero proprio i libri il segreto per cambiare la sua vita?

This was a bit hard to get into and rather slow-going at times; a lot of characters to keep track of and not all of them were fun to spend time with. I was especially annoyed that the main character, a trained librarian, was opposed to providing her community with the most basic of library programmi Leggi tutto
Who could resist a book with the title of a library at the edge of the world? Not me. The story revolves around Hanna Casey. After separating from her cheating husband, Hanna, in her early fifties, ends up living with her mother on the outskirts of a town in Ireland where she grew up. Her daughter J Leggi tutto
A library on the epic, lush west coast out of Ireland. Yes, please! Hanna has returned home to Ireland to live with her mom and raise her teen-age daughter after leaving her philandering husband. Leaving the cosmopolitan environment of London and her dreams to be an art librarian makes Hanna seem un Leggi tutto
Of course it is a novel about a Library! But it is so much more than that....empowering story about the meaning of home and the importance of finding a place where you truly belong. Enjoy this engaging book.
I really expected to love this book more. The setting of a made up peninsula in Ireland with the main character being a librarian I felt like it would be love at the first page. I found this book a bit of a struggle to get into and I think a large part of it was that I didn’t care much for the chara Leggi tutto
It sure is a feel good book and I especially enjoyed the setting in a small town Ireland. It sounds like a lovely community. The ending is okay as all goes well, but I feel like there are some few loose ends that need to be tied. I guess there will be a sequel to this. I can’t seem to connect to Han Leggi tutto
Oh, what an absolutely wonderful book for every book lover on earth! I adored this story of a public library, a woman starting over, family, friends and community set in rural Ireland. The setting is fabulous, the people make my heart happy and the storyline of a librarian saving a library makes thi Leggi tutto
