This one was fun and bittersweet at the same time. It really caught the heart of a mother's love for her son, who she's lost touch with. While pets of it were pretty predictable, it was enjoyable to read and to watch the mother and son mature past their previous griefs. I haven't read a lot set in the 1960s, but I felt like it really captured the feel of the time period and then of Irelnad as well.
