Green Journey Review

Green Journey

Agatha is a wonderful character and Jon Hassler is one of our best novelists. His books are highly readable while being intelligent at the same time. You will feel like you made the journey to Ireland with her, but I preferred the parts set in the U.S. This book is not two-dimensional like the Mitford novel that I attempted to read and could get only halfway through. There is humor, excellent characterization, natural dialogue, and believable behavior. All of Jon Hassler's books are excellent, but the books which feature Agatha are his best.

"Hassler's characters have old-fashioned values and typical human failings; they make this a novel to restore your faith in humanity."LOS ANGELES TIMESAgatha McGee is following a dream, though it might be late in the game. She's just retired from a career of teaching and travels to Ireland in search of the romance she never had time for. And along the way, she not only discovers people she would never have let herself know before, but learns through experience, at long last, that love is unpredictable, unstoppable, and never appears as we dream it will. From the Paperback edition.

There's something very American about this novel. A lot of people probably thought there wasn't much to it, but really when you look at the daily ordinary occurances and tragedies of our lives, they don't always seem so profound. It's when you view them as a sum of their parts that you see the meaning. I've never read a book that painted a life, several lives, so vividly and realistically. I believe in Ann and Adele. The ending is perfect. Adele loved Ann the best that she could, and it was a reckless, selfish, hurtful love, but it was love. Call me crazy but there's something sort of beautiful about that.
