I want to live in this book!
 
Sarah impulsively boards a plane to Ireland, where she lands at a small and maybe mysterious cottage. She is drawn to a perhaps magical tree with local history and finds the diary of a young woman, Anna, written 100 years in the past. Time jumps explore life for Anna, her meeting and relationship with American Harold, and the local lore in 1910. With Anna's help, Harold explores the idea of fairies and magic in Ireland. As Sarah reads the diary, she finds more in common with Anna, and explores her own pain and grief as she invests in, and learns to trust herself.

I loved this book from start to finish. The author's writing flows so easily and is beautiful without being superfluous or overwhelming. She provides just the right about of verbiage to allow the imagery to come through naturally. Everywhere she takes us, everyone we meet, you feel like you are there.

While mostly predictable, this book was so lovely and wonderful. Absolute 5 stars!
