As someone with Irish roots from Mooncoin, Ireland, I was captivated by this novel. It skillfully weaves Irish lore, sayings (like knacker = tired), and blessings throughout the story, adding an enchanting touch to the narrative. The three sisters are beautiful, kind souls who aspire to make a better world for all - making them genuinely delightful characters. The novel also enlightens readers about poignant Irish history, including the fateful coffin ships that transported impoverished Irish immigrants to America. The ships earned their unsavory moniker from the countless souls lost during the treacherous journey across the ocean.
