| 143 of 148 people found the following review helpful  A memorable book - not to be misremembered!, By A Serious Music Lover (Texas) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Misremembered Man (Paperback) This is a very enjoyable read - one of sharp contrasts. In fact I found myself dreading the chapters dealing with the orphanage. Thankfully the author used descriptive but not excessively graphic scenes to portray the horrors of those institutions. And she balanced it with delightful humor in the chapters about Jamie's adult life. The characters are well drawn; the best of which is Rose McKadden. I laughed out loud at some of her dialogs and learned a great new word..."And it's a terrible thing when a body is incapissitated in such a way." That one line was worth the whole book!I regret that the author didn't use more Irish idioms and that from a purely practical point of view the story is rather unbelievable. But it has a sweet, feel-good ending which is irrestible. In short, I laughed and cried - it's a good book! 140 of 150 people found the following review helpful  A good read..., By This review is from: The Misremembered Man (Hardcover) The Misremembered Man is a charming yet harsh portrait of Ireland and some of it's characters, mainly a man and a woman whose younger lives shared a common bond, oppression. This tale is engrossing although a wee syrupy at times, and here and there are touches of humor that are in sharp contrast to the lives of these two people. The author builds the characters well, then plops them in the middle of life in the small towns of Ireland. You might feel the final chapters will bring a heartwarming predictable ending that you hoped would happen, but the writer surprises you....worth the time to curl up on a comfortable sofa and read the day away. 90 of 96 people found the following review helpful A top pick for readers seeking a well-written period piece., By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Misremembered Man (Hardcover) Though he was resigned to a life of miserable loneliness, some hope still remained for Jamie McCloone. "The Misremembered Man" is the story of two opposites. One is the rugged Jamie, with his cruel history of orphanhood and a sad life; the other is Lydia, a cleanliness next to godliness type, who lives under an oppressive mother. They meet through the newspaper and an intriguing romance begins to bud, in this touching story of companionship set in rural Ireland's darker times. A top pick for readers seeking a well-written period piece. |
