This is Happiness
This is a remarkable story of love and friendship. It is also about love and is also about friendship.
Read this book and look for the place where the author tells you what you already know about happiness.
That might be enough, but the story is set in a small village in Ireland which is named Faha, and this place is on the verge of getting electricity. While that seems like a natural, positive progression of civilization, there is enough about the impact to see some clear connections to our own world today, and how we trade, too quickly, our values for our convenience.
It is written in a lovely, lyrical style, with just enough of the Irish lilt to make you hear the sound of it.
There are few books I have ever read that I found myself pausing and going back to read things over, so that I may enjoy it fully, and because I don't want it to end. This is one of those special works.
