Plain and simple, this is the story of Nora Webster. The story takes place in Ireland in the late 60's and 1970’s. We are introduced to Nora right after the death of her husband. She is left with four children, two are away at school. The other two live with her in a small village in Ireland where everyone knows who you are. Her husband was a teacher and while he was alive they had a comfortable life but now with him gone she finds that she must step up to the plate and figure out how to take care of her and her children. It is a journey for her.
Before she was
married she worked in an office for a company in town. The owner of the company has offered her a
job which she takes. What I liked about this novel is the reader does not feel sorry for Nora. She might feel grief for the loss of her husband and their way of life but she never has a pity party for herself.
she faces challenges. She weighs her options and moves on with her life. It is not easy for her but she seems to manage. It is interesting to watch her find herself especially since this was in a small village in Ireland in the 1970's and women once they were married became homemakers and had many of their decisions made for them by their spouse.
