Interesting Book
"The Irish Goodbye" was a different kind of memoir book than I had ever read. I found three main types of mini memoirs within this book. First, there were loving thoughts that touched me, especially about her mother and mother-in-law. Second, there were thoughts that seemed random - like why do I want to know this about a stranger. And third, there were the personal thoughts I didn't think I should know about a stranger. I found it to be an unusual but interesting read.
