Reactions and Reviews

Bev’s knowledge of all things Irish really gets a chance to shine here. I like the way these men were able to re-connect despite the hard knocks to their friendship, despite personal tragedies, despite distance and the passage of time. There are some regrets, but not the guilt-driven paralyzing ones you find in some stories. There’s hurt too, but not physical – no bullets or kidnappings here. Just a little sadness and a few hurt feelings as they misstep a little while they learn to dance together again. A lovely story.[1]

Takes place five years after the dissertation fiasco. Blair's moved to Ireland, though he and Jim still stay in touch. Jim finally comes, over Xmas, to visit but his trip is cut short... but not before he and Blair discover a few things. References to Irish history and lore abound, making for more enjoyable reading (if you're into that kind of stuff) after this wonderful story.[2]
