Review: The Pub Across The Pond by Mary Carter

About the book:

“Sometimes leaving home is the only way to find where you belong….” 

Carlene Rivers is many things. Dutiful, reliable, kind. Lucky? Not so much. At thirty, she’s living a stifling existence in Cleveland, Ohio. Then one day, Carlene buys a raffle ticket. The prize: a pub on the west coast of Ireland. Carlene is stunned when she wins. Everyone else is stunned when she actually goes.

My Thoughts:

When I read the synopsis of The Pub Across The Pond I knew that I had to read it....a young woman, living in Cleveland, Ohio wins a pub in Ireland.  I live outside the Cleveland area and am not Irish but I enjoy reading about Ireland and Irish fiction. The Pub Across The Pond is a delightful, fun read that will take you from the states to the coast of Ireland to experience the beauty and culture of the Irish. Carlene is trying to find her way in life, her purpose so to speak after losing her mother at a young age and helping her father who has secrets untold about her mother. I enjoyed this story full of wonderful, quirky characters as well as romance and the backdrop of the beauty of Ireland.
