Bailieborough Reading Group gives "This is how it ends by Kathleen MacMahon" 4 Stars!
This is how it ends tells the story of two people who
collide with each other just as the whole world seems to be caught between the
hope and promise of Obama’s election and the catastrophic collapse of the
global economy.
Bruno is a middle-aged American banker who has come to
Ireland to escape the financial meltdown in his own country. Addie is an
out-of-work Irish architect. Childless and isolated when she meets Bruno, her
life seems to be on a downward spiral.
Addie and Bruno’s story is one of nationality and identity,
of the power of optimism to defeat despair and the unstoppable march of time.
It’s the story of two people who find joy together when they were least
expecting it. It's about the past and the future and the elusive skill of
living in the moment. It is a love story for our times.
