Self-help✦ Penny’s Take📱 Kindle
A Prodigal Return (Book 5 - An Irish Family Saga)
Jean Reinhardt · 2016
57/100
👎 Skip It
This fifth chapter of the McGrother family's Irish saga leans on real 1880s emigration history, which gives it a grounded, wistful feel. But coming in at book five, it really only rewards readers who've stuck with the series from the start, and I couldn't find much outside retailer copy to judge the writing itself. Solid if you're already invested, a tougher sell as a first pick.
