1921 continues Morgan Llywelyn's "Irish Century". She draws on many historical facts and fleshes them out with characters that bring the history to life. This novel tells of one of the saddest periods in Ireland, when brother fought brother in a civil war.
It personalizes the times with the story of two friends torn apart by their allegiances; wanting the same thing-independence for Ireland-but on opposite sides of the conflict. There's also the love story of Henry and Ella; one a Catholic, one a Protestant-an issue which still lives on in Ireland today.

I liked that there were 2 books included in this volume, but it doesn't make sense to me. Why put #1 and #3 in one book, forcing people to attain #2 separately.
The stories were very nice; I like Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. Debbie Macomber's books seem to follow the same formula, which a lot of people enjoy, but I won't be reading any more of them.

If you're looking for a happy ending, this book is not for you. It's a story about how hard it was for one young girl to find "the American dream". I'll leave it up to the next reader to decide if she found it.

Ms. Goudge has surpassed herself with this book. I was right there with the characters; I strongly recommend this for all of Eileen's fans.

This book is about the power of friendship. I connected with the characters right away; felt the anger, pain, love and laughter of these four women as if I'd known them all for years.

This is the third book in Ms. Bostwick's Cobbled Court series. As soon as I opened it, I was drawn back into the lives of Evelyn, Liza, Abigail, Margot and Ivy. This time, the spotlight is on Liza and Garrett. Liza is trying to make huge life changing decisions, but is held back by doubts.
I love how these women pull together and "get it done". I hope Marie Bostwick never ends this series!

This book is all I expected and more. It's made me look at myself in a new way; I will create from my soul, not from what people want me to do.
