I very much enjoyed This Is How It Ends by Kathleen MacMahon which is set in Ireland towards the end of 2008. An Irish-American, Bruno, has lost his banking job and visits Ireland in search of relatives and ancestors. By chance he meets his cousin, Addie, and they fall in love. They are both "middle-aged" and this romance is unexpected for them both. Addie is staying with her surgeon father, Hugh, while he recovers from breaking his hands in a fall. Addie has a sister, Della, who has a young family. Bruno is charming and wins over Della, Addie's dog Lola, and eventually Hugh. Bruno takes Addie on "tourist" drives to see parts of Ireland she's not seen. Their relationship blossoms, a great love story with "ups and downs". 41/2/5Thursday, June 4, 2015
