5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, Jan 22 2005

The characters are so rich and life like. I couldn't get enough, even though I was sleep deprived from staying up late to read!

4.0 out of 5 stars 502 pages and I still want more, April 4 2003
By Nicole Laflamme (Rittman, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tara Road (School & Library Binding)
I loved this story, and I wish I could keep on living with them on Tara Road. Ria is exceptionally sweet, her desire to please makes her a tad oblivious. The author doesn't have to spell it out, we're all suspicious of Rosemary. But because this is Ria's story, we remain unknowledgeable of any wrongdoing until Marilyn enters the scene. When Ria threatens Danny with a fork in Colm's restaurant, I was really hoping she'd go through with it. Poke his eye out, Ria!

All the characters are beautifully well-rounded, but there are quite a few of them. For some reason, I kept forgetting who Hilary was...! I went and bought this book, and hope to give it to my mother (though I know it'll take her eons to finish). So I'm here now to encourage you to read it right now, and share the story with me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tara Road, Feb 22 2003
By Georgia F. Cooke (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tara Road (School & Library Binding)
Having read several of Binchyï¿s works I went into Tara Road with an attitude of familiarity. So I, from the start, paid particular attention to the character developments of Nora and her young daughters, Hilary and Ria. The effort was certainly worthwhile. In the writerï¿s usual flow, giving us peaks of growth stages, she introduces us to another portion of the Dublin area and a diversified cross section of endearing and frustrating characters. I was suspicious of Rosemary from the beginning and Danny was the spark that Riaï¿s naïveté required. ... The humiliation of Riaï¿s attempt to hang on to what was already gone brought tears of identification to my eyes. Monaï¿s eventual reward was sweet without vindictiveness and Gertieï¿s loss was certainly her gain. Brian was my middle sonï¿s irritating and adorable personality. And Colmï¿s last page plans leaves such hope in the end. Before I was anywhere near the middle of the book I had definite hopes and fears for the cadre of friends and foes I had come to know, know on a personal level.

If there is any criticism on my part it is that the Americans sound rather English to me, but being a Westerner, maybe New Englanders really do sound that foreign. Nonetheless, a good read, a womanï¿s story with insight and generosity.
