First Chapter First Paragraph


"The Irish breakfast--more properly, a resplendent banquet on a plate--was the culprit. He had tried to restrict himself to three such repasts during their stay in County Sligo, but ended up devouring seven, two of them out of view of his wife. He didn't know about Saint Paul, but the grim baggage of diabetes was definitely this cleric's thorn.http://www.bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com

Haven't read Jan Karon in years. Hope you're enjoying this one!
I've been seeing this one around a lot lately. I think I would need to know more about the overall book before deciding...the intro didn't really give much.

I love Jan Karon. I almost picked it up at our Hastings Books yesterday, but I was on a mission to find a book for my husband's birthday tomorrow. I will read it in the future for sure.
I haven't heard of this book, but it sounds like one I'd enjoy. I definitely like the setting.
Here's the link to my Tuesday post: Tumbleweeds.

I would hate to have to limit my breakfasts when I was on vacation. This sounds like a good book too.
