This is an eloquent and enjoyable Canadian memoir about family, aging, and love. Joe, an eighty-year-old living with Parkinson’s disease, invites his daughter Alison on a week-long trip to Ireland in search of roots and genealogical discoveries.

The narrative of this book was delightful and comical to read. I truly appreciated how the author told her story. Plus I enjoyed being able to travel to Dublin for a few days while reading and be captivated by the setting of this memoir. Check out my full review on my blog.
