![]() It felt like un-necessary torture to have to read about the happy times that I knew couldn't last, and worse, the times Ria thought were happy. Yet - maybe because I saw the film first, in which we jump in at the point where Ria's life starts to crumble around her - everything before had an inevitability to it, like a very drawn out back-story. Binchys most successful novel yet-a million-copy bestseller in hardcover and an Oprah Book Club selection-is the story of two women, one from Dublin, the other from. This is great in some ways as we get to know the characters back to front. Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified. The novel is primarily set in Dublin, home of Ria and her family, as before we get to the house swapping, we hear about Ria's first kiss, her first job, her first real boyfriend, her marriage, her second job, her children, how she made her friendships, made her house a home - basically her entire adult life. If you're thinking "this sounds just like The Holiday" you'd be right - Tara Road is definitely where they poached the idea. The premise is of two women with no prior knowledge of each other, but both with their own problems to escape from, who swap houses and lives for one summer. ![]()
