Helpful Score: 1

While a good enough story of a woman who goes to Ireland with her friend to help that friend recover from grief, the writing is dissatisfying at times. Shea depends so much on ugly or cliche stereotypes; e.g., Americans are loud and boorish, the Irish are endlessly jolly, the French are tres chic, etc. that the overall impact of her decent writing suffers from the use of the worn and generally fictional stereotypes to which excellent writers do not succumb.
