I have reached the age when 400 pages about rain, memory, thwarted love, and the moment electricity first arrived in rural Ireland is a terrific read. Perfect on Audible to enjoy the Irish lilt. This Is Happiness, by Niall Williams, is so touching and wistful and almost indecently well written. It's a book where you cry when the big thing happens (didn't want to spoil it), and cry again, sad the book is over.

“Lovely, gentle and soothing book based in rural Ireland. A bit hard to get into at first but the more you read the more you are drawn in.”
