Welcome to Dublin and
The Guest House on the Green. It’s a charming Georgian manor in the heart of
Dublin. It has been owned and operated by the O’Mara family. The innkeeper is
Aisling O’Mara who recently returned to Ireland permanently after the death of
her father. Her mother no longer wanted to run the inn and none of Aisling’s
three siblings wanted any part of it. However, her youngest sister. Moira,
lives there with her.
As I was introduced
to the various characters who would play the major and minor roles in the
story, I felt a little like I was watching an episode of the “Love Boat” or “Hotel,”
in that there is more than one story taking place.
One of Aisling’s
closest friends, Quinn, runs the restaurant down the street. They almost had a
fling once, but then Aisling met and almost married Marcus. That didn’t work
out so well when Marcus called off the wedding be leaving her a note and
skipping town. Now that Aisling’s broken heart is about to heal, she begins to
image what life would be like with Quinn. Then Marcus shows up and turns
Aisling’s heart upside down.
One of the guesthouses’
guest is Una Brennan. An older woman,
Aisling and her staff can’t seem to do anything to make Una happy. But it turns
out that Una is there to right a wrong and mend her own broken heart. To me,
Una’s story was the best part of the novel. It had more tension and surprises
than Aisling’s story, who plot line was rather predictable.
“O'Mara's: The Guesthouse on the Green” receives
3 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
