The Tour
Ratings3
Average rating4
Take a tour you'll never forget as you navigate the stunning vistas of gorgeous Ireland along with the hearts and minds of a cast of characters who will live with you, long after you've finished the last page. During a routine tour of Ireland, tour guide Conor O'Shea finds himself on a journey of his own through the lives of his hilarious companions as together they navigate both the Irish countryside and the secrets of their individual lives. A Wall Street banker, a divorcee, a musician, a cop, and a professor all enter Ireland with something on their minds, and throughout their journey with Conor as their guide, they each begin to show something of themselves against the spectacular backdrop of Ireland. As colourful and turbulent as an Irish hillside, The Tour offers more than just a look at one of the world's most beautiful places, but contrasts Ireland's open skyways and idyllic views against the secret lives of the individual. Witty, informative, and with a touch of romance, The Tour offers a unique look at the lives of others as they travel the Emerald Isle

Like a satisfying meal
This book made me cry, which normally makes me angry. However, they wear wholesome, satisfying, good feeling tears.
I'm a sucker for rags to riches / beauty from ashes stories, and I love happy endings. This book was all of that and more, weaving a detailed and interesting storyline with relatable, if not always likable characters.
Like life, bad choices were made and abrasive personalities ran amuck. And, like life sometimes happens, those had lifelong consequences. But, unlike life, we get a first row seat to see how those choices play out and how the story ends.
So, if you're like myself and have had your fill of horror, tragedy, disappointment and bad news, this makes the perfect escape. Maybe it's a little too idealistic, but for me that's a perfect counterbalance to the negativity and endless bad news were all exposed to. So, like any good meal, this is tasty, filling, easy to digest, and doesn't leave you with regrets for hours afterward.
