A Proper Place

1975Joan Lingard

3.7/5

[5/28/2015, looking back.]I vaguely remember reading this series back in senior year when a freshman friend let me read them. They were amazing and gave me a view into Irish culture in the ... I forget what time period, but I loved that I got to see this young couple trying to make a life for themselves. It was interesting and strange, like looking into a foggy window. The whole concept of hippies was entertained, I think, but as some friends they met on the way. I think the book series was based in the late 50s or early 60s... but I can't remember. I just remember that the leading characters were Protestant and Catholic (the leading girl was Protestant, I think, and the boy Catholic).Their friends back home were having some issues with the IRA... or something such like. But it was an interesting read. I didn't know there was another book, but I'll be on the lookout for it.
